The Road to Silverstone

Johan Eriksson 2013 docu 57 min.

A team of young, brave Palestinian mechanical engineering students succeeds
in building Gaza's first Formula racing car despite failing to get crucial
components from European suppliers due to the longstanding siege on the
territory. Led by the relentless and visionary Ghassan Abu-Orf (PhD in
mechanical engineering from University of Manchester), they face numerous
seemingly impossible obstacles in their quest to take their invention to
England to compete at the Silverstone racing circuit.
