Save the Date! Come see VEER, June 4th 7:00 pm, Terrace Theater


On the heels of National Bike Month, Charleston Moves is proud to present a pre-release screening of Veer, an award-winning, feature length documentary film that explores America’s fast-growing bicycling culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycling and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. The film follows these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veer examines what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.

The film made its world premiere at the Victoria Film Festival earlier this summer and has won a Jury Award for Best Doc at the Calgary Film Festival, won Best Documentary at the Calgary Underground Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Documentary at the San Joaquin International Film Festival.

The screening will be held on June 4th at the Terrace Theater. The event is a benefit for Charleston Moves, a local bicycle and mobility advocacy organization. Come a little early and party! Grab a bite at any one of several great restaurants right by the theater. There will also be a raffle for a super-cool electric bike.

Tickets are $12 (cash or check only at the door). Advance tickets will soon be available at www.charlestonmoves.org. Purchase an annual Charleston Moves membership between now and the screening and get a FREE ticket. Join the movement. Enjoy this award-winning flick at the same time you lend your support to Charleston Moves.
