For the Love of Mud

The fourth film in a line of successful documentaries by the photographer and film-maker Benedict Campbell. For the Love of Mud is a feature-length documentary Illustrating the beauty of cyclo-cross. A curious hybrid of winter racing that came long before the mountain bike. It’s played out in muddy fields and practically a religion in Belgium. Rapidly expanding in the rest of the world, this film captures the tight-knit ’cross community, from Sven Nys, Katie Compton and Britain's own Helen Wyman. Experience the energy and enthusiasm enjoyed by the riders, from the rookies to the rock stars, as they participate in the renaissance of this sport.
