About Dream Racer
Dream Racer is an inspiring account of the fear of life going by unfulfilled and the pursuit of dreams as the antidote to this fear. The film tells the extraordinary true story of French Australian Business Consultant Christophe Barriere-Varju who defies extreme physical hardship and personal tragedy as he attempts to take on the world’s most dangerous motor race, the Dakar Rally, on a motorbike.
Dream Racer has won multiple awards around the globe and has been acclaimed by Mitchell Block, producer of academy award documentary Big Mama as “A COMPELLING, MOVING AND POWERFUL FILM.” Candide McDonald from Australian Creative Magazine dubbed Dream Racer as “THE MOTIVATIONAL FILM OF THE DECADE.”
Dream Racer is available for purchase on DVD, Blu-Ray and VOD from the Official Website.
