Still We Ride is an action-packed documentary that glimpses into the
shocking showdown between the monthly Critical Mass bike ride and the
New York City Police Department in the months after August 2004.

On Friday August 27, 2004 just days before the start of the Republican
National Convention, a massive police operation was underway. By the
end of the night 264 people were arrested. It marked one of the
largest mass arrests in New York City's history - and the arrested had
done nothing illegal.

For many New Yorkers, August was the first time they heard of what has
become a monthly ritual for New York City's bike community; a
free-forming ride called Critical Mass.

Still We Ride is a documentary that captures the joyous atmosphere of
this August ride before the arrests began and the chaos that followed.
It recounts how this ride first started in San Francisco over 10 years
ago and chronicles the police crackdown and resulting court battles in
New York over the last seven months. The movie takes on issues of
civil liberties, surveillance, the power of mainstream media, and the
benefits of alternative means of transportation.
