This Is Australia

Plot Summary

Australia is home to many of the world’s fastest and most successful down-hill mountain bikers. For the past several years, riders such as Nathan Rennie, Chris Kovarik, Jared Graves, Jared Rando, and ‘Sik’ Mick Hannah have shown the world what Aussies can do on a racetrack. Now, a new group of younger Australians are looking to make their mark on the world scene. Sam Hill, at 22 years old, fits between the two groups, and is firming his reputation as the most talented rider on the planet. TIA is an explosive documentary that delves deep into the lives of the top riders who have given Australia its reputation, explores the challenges faced by the younger riders trying to establish themselves in a sport that takes everything you have to succeed, and asks the question; what makes Sam Hill so damn fast? Filmed all over Australia and featuring some of the best known and iconic trails, as well as secret trails the riders have built themselves, TIA shows the world exactly what Australia has to offer. Candid interviews with riders, parents, friends and industry figures, combined with superb cinematography and adrenalin fueled riding sequences, TIA promises to offer a brand new type of mountain biking film.
