A gutsy tour de force of the greatest roadrace in the world, OVERCOMING is the gripping new docu-drama from Danish director Tomas Gislason (co-writer of Lars Von Trier's Europa and The Kingdom).

Legendary cyclist Bjarne Riis is putting together a team to race the Tour de France. At time when Lance Armstrong seems almost beatable, his mission seems possible. Yet the infamous race, impossible egos and gruelling conditions make the possible a nail-biting journey. With a truly international cast including Ivan Basso (Italy), Bjarne Riis (Denmark), Bobby Julich (USA), Carlos Sastre (Spain), Jens Voigt (Germany) and Michelle Bartoli (Italy), this is inspirational story is part "Hell on Wheels", part "Touching The Void".
