In the Dirt is a documentary film about a group of passionate Native American cyclists who attempt to bring the sport of mountain biking to the Navajo Nation, where no bike shops exist.
With a growing number of passionate bikers across the 28,000-mile expanse of the Navajo Nation, the film documents the grassroots native-led effort to overcome countless odds to build a cycling culture that today has become the fastest-growing recreational sport on the Navajo Nation.
