What is "Shift: The RAGBRAI Documentary" about?
"SHIFT," produced by Des Moines Register journalists Courtney Crowder and Kelsey Kremer, is the result of a more than yearlong project undertaken in recognition of this summer's 50th anniversary of the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. It follows three riders making the seven-day cross-state journey in 2022, enjoying the camaraderie of the ride and the hospitality of Iowans as they tell their stories along the way. It also shares the anticipation of a couple preparing their small Mississippi River town to host the terminal tire dip.
Above all, it's a glimpse of how an improbable event dreamed up in 1973 by another pair of Register journalists, John Karras and Donald Kaul, has become a cherished institution drawing thousands of participants from around the world to rural Iowa annually.
