Thomas Finke: Crossing Borders - Overland to Mongolia — Sumpfblume Kultur- & Kommunikationszentrum, Hameln
Description was written before the event

Can a novice rider make it from Germany to Mongolia by motorbike? Yes - as long as you're willing to ride a very steep learning curve.

Thomas and his buddy Steve encounter overwhelming hospitality in Iran, fairy-tale cities along the ancient Silk Road, and the world's second-highest mountain pass. Along the way: breakdowns, crashes, fermented mare's milk with locals, a panic attack in a hot-air balloon, a burning desert crater - and an attempt to bribe police officers with gummy bears. Just when Mongolia seems within reach, the journey takes an unexpected turn.

"Crossing Borders" is a live show blending storytelling, humour and interactive elements - not a conventional travel documentary, but Thomas Finke's personal story told through striking imagery.
