The Eddy Merkx Story
The story of the rider they called The Cannibal, who won everything there was to win.
The first film, made with Merckxs full support and input, comprehensively covers his phenomenal career. With a revealing interview throughout, plus fabulous race footage and rare archive film, Merckx tells about his formative years; growing up above a small grocers shop in Brussels, before standing supreme in the peloton from the mid 1960s to the late 1970`s. Merckx gave and demanded total commitment and lived, as the Irish cycling legend Sean Kelly did after him, utterly devoted to the sport. Enjoy in this wonderful film, watching a man of such incredible strength, spirit and self-belief, that when united with tremendous athletic prowess and unbridled ambition, produced a set of results in the sport, that even today, are almost unbelievable.
main film will be proceeded by a number of short films
