Somehow I’ve missed this  documentary film from 1971 about Burt Munro but it has recently popped up on my YouTube radar. This 26 minute film isn’t the Anthony Hopkins version of the story, itself a great movie, but rather a raw short film in which one gets to hear a lot from Munro himself in his own voice (Turns out Hopkins wasn’t too far off the mark with his version of Munro). If you love underdogs, motorcycles, and damn-the torpedos attitudes, spend a half hour traveling back in time with this film.
