Growing Old Disgracefully (1999)
In the tradition of the 20th century classic novel 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', Growing Old Disgracefully is a biker documentary about a son's struggle to understand his father five years after a family break-up. Riding with his dad and the Ulysses club, we trace a motorcycle adventure across the southern Australian landscape, and the emotional terrain of family relationships.
