2010 Dakar Rally | Chasing The Desert Film
>> chasing the desert…
HD Reality-Documentary
What if in life, there were no great moments?
Nothing to achieve, discover or learn – nothing to dream, love or lose?
What would your life look like?
>>NOT LIKE THIS.
The Dakar Rally heralds 29 years of being the most dangerous sporting event in the world. A grueling 15-day, 6000km race that has crossed the continents, cultures and remote check points hidden deep in South America. Anyone can enter, everyone gets lost, some may die, only a third will finish.
>>The Dakar Rally changes people – it is designed to shatter dreams.
>>No maps, no guides, no guarantees – a journey of survival and adventure.
From the top off-road racers in the world to the nomadic tribes of the Sahara, from savvy Volkswagen engineers to the local desert gurus, filmmaker, Shawna Cox, and her cast of Dakar racers, take audiences first hand, into the exotic and exclusive world of the Dakar Rally. As her journey converges with these racers, something becomes clear: It’s not the win. It’s the winning team that one discovers and builds along the way. 3 race to be the first North American to win the Dakar, 1 for his legacy, 1 for his family, 1 for his home. 1 filmmaker in the middle of it all, puts her own career on the line. The odds are stacked hard against them as the Dakar is designed for only one out of three racers to cross the finish line, let alone capture the win.

Hi Shawna,
I spoke with you back in February about helping out in Argentina with 11films and expressed my interest as a fellow film maker. I will be in Argentina and Chile to follow the race and produce my own short independent film about the Dakar. I hope to catch up with you and share apart of what will be an amazing race.
Talk soon,
Doug Shaw
