Pascal's Bike from Jacob SB on Vimeo.
In 2008, Jacob went to Rwanda to help distribute cargo bikes to rural coffee farmers. He made film that documented the impact of the bicycle on a single farmer, his family, and village. What many Americans see as an expensive toy was much more for Pascal and his community.
Now Jacob and his crew are taking the story global. The bicycle can't eradicate poverty, cure HIV/AIDS, or stop global warming. But it can give a farmer a hand up, allow a health worker to reach further, and take one more car off the road.
