Culture clash with athletic ambitions: Since 1987 the Tour du Faso has taken place in Burkina Faso, an event in which around 15 teams from numerous countries in Africa and Europe compete. It's not only all about sports here: it's also about the significance of the bicycle, which replaced the donkey and mule under colonial occupation. TOUR DU FASO takes the viewer on an exhilarating trip back in time, where the tour route is made of sandy trails and the promotional caravan is composed of two jeeps and a hand-painted "Palmolive bus". The old saying still applies here: Being there is everything!
