Women in the Front Seat

Great photography. Great characters. But most of all, this film was very inspiring. Having seen this film, I want to make sure I am living the life I really want, despite my fears. I really appreciated the diversity of the characters and types of bikers, and the deep life-stories the filmmaker gave. I liked seeing what each biker carried with her, and I liked their broader stories. Often, they took up biking after a parent had warned them against it -- and against doing other things they wanted in life. Often, the things they were warned against were "not for women." And then the stories of the women who came back from terrible accidents!

This documentary is incredible. Listening to people share about their passion is so motivating to me. I loved seeing all the different bikes and hearing each of their stories was incredible. This film makes me want to get back on a bike and hit the open road. The cinematography is great and I love how the put everyones stories together.

This movie will motivate you to spend time with the passions in your life no matter what it is. You do not have to be into motorcycles to enjoy this movie.

I highly recommend this documentary to everyone that has a passion not just motorcyle enthusiastics. Greart job!

If you're in the mood for something light and inspiring, look no further. There's not much conflict here, or drama, or worry. What you WILL find instead is a huge group of people throwing you on the back of their bikes and taking you on a tour of the passion that ties them all together. Look, I'm a mid-30s guy, I've never ridden a motorcycle. But I still found the glimpse into this subculture fascinating. Footage of long trips through various locales is so romantic it hurts.

Each of these lovely ladies have had their own journey to this hobby and many of them find different reasons to keep with it. Yet there is a through line that connects all of them. They each have a desire for independence as women. Many of these see this as a challenge to overcome. And for seemingly all of them, they have discovered that riding gives them a sense of freedom and peace that few other things have. Highly recommend if you're in for a doc that explores a little corner of humanity you may not be too familiar with.

I can always watch a film with people talking about the things that awaken life in them. Don't assume this film is only for women or bike enthusiasts. Discovering passion and what brings joy in one's life is universal, and seeing the joy these women found through motorcycles and the motorcycle community is infectious. This film should be seen as a call to anyone watching to seek out that thing that can give you a new perspective on the world, conquer your fears, and allow you to experience life more completely.

It was a pleasure spending time with these womena and I comment the filmmakers for their effort.

From the first few seconds Indy Saini's wonderful movie grabs your attention as you metaphorically get right there on the ride with her and for the next 75 minutes she expertly navigates you through the culture of women who love motorcycles. It takes a special kind of director to illicit the vulnerability and sometimes heartbreaking honesty from her many and varied woman interviewees each of whom has unique and deeply personal reasons for their common passion for bikes. However, this documentary is also a masterclass in DIY filmmaking and the throughline of this story is Saini's own journey around America, alone on her Indian Scout, braving the elements, to get the story on video. In the process, she deftly subverts the Icarian narrative of self-destruction that we subconsciously attach to stories of men and motorcycles. Under her careful control, like Daedalus and his wax wings, the motorcycle is a life-affirming means to freedom and empowerment.
