WIND RIDERS, a feature length documentary, tells the poignant and inspiring stories of three American balloonists who dedicate their lives to their sport: a masterful solo hot-air balloon pilot whose quiet passion transcends generations with his iconic seagull balloon, and a driven championship gas-balloon team competing in a tragic quest to defend their world title.

A beautiful film about three balloon pilots who lived with the sport, revealing personal stories. I never knew this prestigious gas balloon race is the oldest aviation race, and the peaceful ride of hot-air balloon will take you to a tranquil trip. The film was inspired by the famous novel, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" written by Richard Bach in the late 60s. Tragic what happened, but yet the story is uplifting somehow.

Amazing film! Such a well-done and inspiring documentary. The videography is powerful. The story has an unexpected twist but leaves you feeling inspired. You'll never look at hot air balloons the same way again.
