WIND RIDERS, a feature length documentary, tells the poignant and inspiring stories of
three American balloonists who dedicate their lives to their sport: a masterful solo hot-air
balloon pilot whose quiet passion transcends generations with his iconic seagull balloon, and

a driven championship gas-balloon team competing in a tragic quest to defend their world title.
