Opens June 28, 2025
Presented by Noir Rouge Productions.
We Ride Why is a documentary film about the power of love, community, and hope in the face of cancer. The film follows the stories of several women who have been impacted by cancer, as well as the friends and family who support them. Through their stories, we learn about the collateral damage that cancer can bring, but also the hope that can be found in the relationships that are born out of trauma. We also see how a strong community in Seattle, Washington has formed to support all those impacted by cancer.

We Ride Why embodies the freedom cycling offers – a reprieve from daily life’s stressors and obligations. Cycling is our escape, our sanctuary, and our connection to something bigger. We ride not just for physical health but to heal and make a difference. Our passion drives us to share our love for cycling with the world, highlighting businesses, brands, and the cycling community.
We Ride Why is more than just a question – it’s a conversation, a connection, a shared purpose. It’s about understanding why each of us matters, why our stories intersect, and why we come together to support those affected by cancer. The story starts with individual lives negatively impacted by cancer, which are part of a larger community united against this disease.
This film is a love letter to those we’ve loved and lost, as well as those who continue to endure. It’s a story that transcends cycling – it’s a story about family, community, connection, and love. The bike becomes a powerful metaphor, symbolizing unity, inclusion, health, resilience, and overcoming challenges.
At its core, the movie explores the why behind our actions. Why do we ride? Why do we fight? Why do we come together? The answer is simple: love. Love for our families, friends, communities, music, and life itself. This deep-seated love is what makes the film impactful and resonant.
Proceeds (After Expenses) from screenings will be donated to Fred Hutch for cancer research to #curecancerfaster.
