I sort of hesitate to recommend this one, as it is a little intense and at times difficult to watch, but in the end it is a real feel good film. It involves physically handicapped folks and one man's quest in Ghana to use cycling to bring about change and how several American organizations came to his aid and with their help he was able to become sort of famous and accomplish much.

It is a documentary and it is a true story with the real folks involved, rather than actors. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey. Interesting to see the bicycle used as an instrument of social change. Very well done and the winner of numerous prizes. Available from Netflix.
