Synopsis:
POWER TO THE PEDALS portrays the transformative vision and extraordinary efforts of Wenzday Jane, a young woman whose mechanical skills and innovative actions are reshaping her community. Shot in an intimate, lyrical style, the film follows Wenzday Jane as she builds a green business of cargo tricycles that work in agriculture and food delivery, composting, recycling and waste-hauling. Wenzday goes to the heart of the sustainability issue by offering practical solutions.
Raised in Boston's tough public housing, Wenzday developed a passion for mechanics and welding and discovered the bicycle as a means to self-determination. Bikes represent self-reliance and autonomy, she says. Working on bikes gave me a platform for really thinking about how things work. With a municipal contract to pick up public area recycling, Wenzday heads a movement to replace trucks with human-powered vehicles for local freight operations. Now she's lowering the carbon footprint, one bike at a time.
