The Radavist

We’re excited to present the trailer to ZANA, the latest release from State Bicycle Company. Directed by Grace Williams and Emily Segura Maze, ZANA tells the story of Melanzana, a women’s Little 500 cycling team, and their pursuit of a historical three-peat. More than just a sports documentary, ZANA explores gender equality and female empowerment in the world of competitive cycling, and documents what it means to be a part of the powerful community of women in sport.

Streaming starts October 11th, exclusively on State Bicycle Co. and right here at The Radavist. Stay tuned!
