From sex and drugs to hackers and harassment – these shorts are a guide to knowing your rights.

The Unlikely Bikers – Available 10th September

This series of shorts breaks down the stereotypes people have about bikers. Often branded as unruly, tattooed and rebellious – in this series we show how biking appeals to people of all types and why not to judge a book by its cover.

These six shorts will invite you into the world of the motorcycle experience exploring how riding has become a symbol of freedom and power. It’s more than a mode of transport from A to B: motorcycling is a form of expression and a lifestyle choice bringing people together from different walks of life. The Unlikely Bikers introduces us to those who live for beautiful machinery, helmets and leathers, and thrive on the addictive thrill that each ride provides – including the likes of Claire, a paralysed ex horse-rider, and Vicky the librarian.
