Film Lens
The Ataxian is a documentary about Kyle Bryant, who suffers from Friedreich's ataxia. The film premiered at the Dances With Films Festival in 2015 and chronicles Bryant's loss of mobility, including his ability to play sports and walk. As his condition progresses, he takes up cycling and begins biking long distances.
When Bryant is confined to a wheelchair, he teams up with three friends to participate in the Race Across America. This event not only serves as a personal challenge for Bryant but also leads to the creation of rideATAXIA, a movement aimed at raising awareness for Friedreich's ataxia.
