This documentary film explores the revival of manual work through the passion of motorcycle enthusiasts who have found their way to a happy life. Shot in 16mm in California, Utah, Indonesia, Spain, Scotland and France, we have spent time with mechanics and custom shop founders trying to understand the difference between manual work and intellectual work. The unique satisfaction that result from doing something tangible, the sense of time, the relation between the form and the function, the joy of riding in a beautiful landscape and the community and friendship that motorcycle creates.

The Greasy Hands Preachers Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
NathanPReid Beautiful. The different interchanging narratives drive the film. Centered entirely around motorbikes and two wheels, the perspectives, opinions and personalities remind us all of why we fell in love with bikes in the first place. Many films have tried to capture the essence but no one has done it better than the Greasy Hand Preachers. A must watch for any petrol fans but a fantastic watch and insight into the lives and loves of some of the worlds most prominent people from the motorcycle Industry.
jerdeger I found it very beautiful and very touching. They managed to convey a true breath of freedom. We feel good the different characters, their fragility and their humility in relation to what they do. The challenge to dedicate their life to passion, tighten all the other issues around a new center, which makes the rest derisory. It is also a beautiful object, the images are really nice, it's a kind of temporal paradox between contemporary aspect of the context and necessarily the 70's look given by the rendering of 16mm. Mixing is really very very well done. Music is also a real character of the film, you feel strong emotion related to the choice of music throughout the narrative. In short bravo, it's a very nice movie, I hope it will have a beautiful life and that it will be seen by many.
