Every week, Kristopher Pollard from Milwaukee Film and Radio Milwaukee’s Dori Zori talk about movies — because that’s what you do when you’re Cinebuds.
When filmmaker Wendy Schneider started going to Aztalan Cycle Club in Lake Mills as a curious fan 20 years ago, there was a lot she didn’t know.
She didn’t know she’d be moved by the young girls racing motorcycles on the quarter-mile dirt oval. That she would form a strong connection to one particular racer, Charlotte Kainz, and her family. That a car accident would derail the project and a tragic racing accident would bring Schneider back to it.
It’s a story that deserves to be heard and seen, which is why Dori invited Schneider to join this episode and talk about the finished product, as well as the difficult road it traveled.
Listen to their full conversation using the player at the top of the page or wherever you find your podcasts in advance of the Angels of Dirt special screening happening at Times Cinema this Saturday, Jan. 18. The event benefits BUILD Moto Mentor Program and includes a Q&A with Schneider, as well as the option to add a beer tasting and raffle to your evening.
