Eastbound is the story of Jenny Graham becoming the fastest woman to circumnavigate the planet. A gritty insight into the mental and physical strength needed to endure the 18,000mile journey. This film tells the story of Jenny Graham's record-breaking ride around the planet to become not only the first woman to complete the circumnavigation unsupported, but also the fastest. Not coming from a typical sporting or adventure background she wonders what an ordinary lass from the Highlands of Scotland can do. As a young mum she came late to long-distance cycling. But a lifetime teaching others in outdoor environments prepared her well for the resilience, self-reliance and physical hardship that these challenges entail. Jenny shows the ordinary can become extraordinary as she makes her way into the Guinness World Records and shaves 20 days off the previous record. Eastbound is the inspiring story of one woman's record-breaking cycle around the World. Over the course of 18,000 miles, ridden alone and with no support crew in 2018, Jenny Graham smashed the previous Guinness World Record by nearly three weeks finishing in 124days 11hours. This film follows Jenny as she tackles the gruelling daily routine of 14 hours in the saddle with the harsh realities of the journey. From the sheer terror of near collisions on Russian roads, to experiencing a myriad of different cultures, and finding friendships with strangers. We see the misery of mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and watch as Jenny tackles alarming encounters with kangaroos and grizzly bears. By the time she returns to the finish line at the Brandenburg Gates it's no surprise that Jenny is a changed person thanks to one humble bike, the entire world, and an unforgettable adventure.
