'Messenger'
documents a day in the life of New York City bike messenger,
Alfred Bobe, Jr., “the fastest man in the city.”
The film follows Bobe as he risks life and limb while weaving
swiftly through traffic at breakneck speeds on his fixed-gear
track bike -- without brakes.
This profile of Alfred Bobe, Jr. is a tribute to New York
City’s energy and its do-or-die attitude. The music
of Masta Killa of the Wu-Tang clan and Vordul Mega set the
beat for this portrait of a master at work. |
