Based on a true story, this film explores a man trying to disconnect from his past while leading four troubled youth on a cycling roadtrip from Denver to the Grand Canyon … all the while in search of moving beyond challenges, learning trust, and discovering purpose.
R.J. Daniel Hanna is the writer and director of Hard Miles, and he joins Noel T Manning II on Meet Me at the Movies (episode 544) to talk about this project.
