Hidden in Plain Sight

A two-day bikepacking expedition of a diverse group of adventurers through the Santa Monica Mountains

“Hidden in Plain Sight” is a profound exploration of human resilience and the untapped beauty that surrounds us. This documentary chronicles the transformative two-day bikepacking expedition of a diverse group of adventurers through the Santa Monica Mountains.

As they pedal through rugged landscapes, the cyclists not only discover the intrinsic beauty of the terrain but also delve deep into their own reserves of strength and determination. Through intimate interviews with the cyclists and community members, including a female rider, a fire captain, a rider who lost everything in a wildfire, and an elder of the Chumash community, the film offers invaluable insights into the human spirit and its connection to nature.

“Hidden in Plain Sight” goes beyond being a visual spectacle; it is a poignant reminder of the resilience that lies within each of us. It challenges viewers to embrace the unseen aspects of their own lives, urging them to look beyond the surface and discover the hidden beauty and strength that await.
