"Dirt Relations" started from a simple yet profound idea to deepen connections with First Nations communities through the lens of mountain biking. The film, which has since blossomed into a powerful narrative about community, culture, and the healing power of nature, was inspired by the real-life journey of Patrick Lucas, Thomas Schoen, Tom Eustache and the Indigenous Youth Mountain Bike Program. This documentary not only showcases breathtaking trails and biking feats but also tells a story of reconciliation, unity, and the transformative power of shared passions. A testament to its grassroots origins, many scenes were shot in locations that hold significant cultural importance to the local Indigenous communities, with the filmmakers working closely with these communities to ensure respectful and authentic representation. "Dirt Relations" serves as a vivid reminder of how sports can bridge diverse cultures, fostering understanding and mutual respect.
