Neste momento, estamos realizando um projeto de financiamento coletivo (CROWDFUNDING) para finalizarmos o documentário sobre o aventureiro Zé do Pedal.
Em 2010, os cineastas Bruno Lima e Fabricio Menicucci acompanharam Zé do Pedal na África do Sul na etapa final de uma de suas aventuras. Entre 2008 e 2010, ele pedalou mais de 17 mil quilômetros desde Paris até a África do Sul a bordo de um kart a pedal. Além disso, ele já realizou muitas outras aventuras, como, por exemplo, dar a volta ao mundo de bicicleta.
O projeto funciona da seguinte forma: existem várias modalidades para contribuição, a partir de R$ 20,00. Para cada uma, há uma recompensa diferente, como: nome nos créditos do filme, DVDs, entre outros. Mas acreditamos que o melhor mesmo, é você saber que contribuiu diretamente com um projeto como esse.
Se conseguirmos atingir o valor total estipulado, receberemos o dinheiro e poderemos finalizar o filme. Caso contrário, o dinheiro é devolvido a todos os colaboradores. Por isso, precisamos de muita ajuda na divulgação, e é claro, de sua contribuição. Para mais detalhes, acesse:
We are launching a crowdfunding project to finish the documentary about the adventurer Zé do Pedal.
In 2010, the directors Bruno Lima e Fabricio Menicucci followed Zé do Pedal in South Africa during the final stage of one of his adventures. From 2008 to 2010, he pedalled more than 17,000 kilometers from Paris to South Africa on a pedal go-kart. In addition, he has performed many other adventures like doing a world tour pedalling a bicycle.
The crowdfunding project works in this way: there are several modalities for contributions starting from R$20. There is a different reward for each contribution, such as acknowledgment in credits, DVDs etc. But we believe that the best thing is knowing that you contributed directly to a project like that.
If we reach the total amount required, we receive the money and we can finish the film. Otherwise, the money is returned to all collaborators. Therefore, we need help in publicizing the project and, of course, your contribution. For more details:

The Brazilian environmentalist and cyclist José Geraldo de Souza Castro has been going around the world for 30 years in fantastic adventures. He is currently crossing the African continent on a pedal go-kart. He started this trip in Paris, on May 10th, 2008, and intends to finish it in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the opening ceremony of the Football World Cup.
Best known as Pedal Joe (Zé do Pedal in Portuguese), his first adventure took place in 1981, when he travelled from Rio de Janeiro to Spain on a bicycle to see the Football World Cup of 1982. After this, Joe did a World Tour on a bicycle, crossed Japan and part of Brazil on a velocipede, sailed through the large São Francisco River and travelled through the Atlantic Ocean on a pedal boat. During his trips he withstood rainstorms, earthquakes, hurricanes and two civil wars. All in all, he visited 66 countries and pedalled about 150,000 kilometers.
Pedal Joe is a humanitarian adventurer who is always concerned with drawing attention of the international community to environmental and social causes. In this trip through Africa, he intends to give visibility to a world-wide project which offers ophthalmologic help to poor countries.
Despite of his originality, Joe has few registers of his trips. Most part of his material, especially the video files, were burned in a house fire. These missing registers are an obstacle for his recognition among the greatest adventurers of the world. Furthermore, he hasn’t received any substantive sponsorship. All of his adventures were supported by local sponsors, in addition to a great courage to face the road without money.
