Sanna and Benjamin are two Swedish human rights defenders who are currently cycling 48,000 kilometers through 40 countries for two years to raise awareness about Western Sahara, Africa´s last colony. While biking up and down the equivalent of 27 Mount Everests, through the busy streets of Tokyo and Beijing, cold Georgian mountains, and the scorching Sahara in Northern Africa, they meet up with local human rights defenders to create long lasting collaborations between oppressed groups.
