Chupacabra

This episode is a small part of a video recording from my (upcoming) documentary about Russian motorcycle culture, in Irkutsk Russian Federation in July 2022. After seeing the motorcycle museum downtown, I headed to a garage neighborhood to spend time with Andreyi. He shared with me the story of his first night camping on the road for a big journey – Irkutsk to Sochi, for the Olympic Games in 2014, and the monster that scared them in the night. The excitement to be camping outdoors, the nerves, the little scares that come from being on the road, it all made Andreyi’s journey unforgettable.
