MOTHERLOAD is an award-winning crowdsourced documentary about a new mother's quest to understand the increasing isolation and disconnection of the digital age, its planetary impact, and how cargo bikes could be an antidote. Filmmaker Liz Canning cycled everywhere until she had twins in 2008. Hauling babies via car was not only unsustainable but took the freedom and adventure out of life, and Liz felt trapped. She Googled "family bike" and uncovered a global movement of people replacing cars with cargo bikes: long-frame bicycles designed for carrying passengers and heavy loads. Liz set out to learn more, and MOTHERLOAD was born.
The movie explores the social empowerment the bicycle has contributed to, the development of the cargo bike, the stories of many families who have made the choice to use cargo bikes as their primary mode of transportation and the growing network of families who support each other and form community with their bikes.
