On Tuesday, "The Brotherhood Ride" has its world premiere at Silverspot Cinema. The documentary follows the 2011 Brotherhood Ride that set out from North Naples to ground zero in New York City to honor the 411 first responders who lost their lives on 9/11. The group of 37 cyclists included firefighters and other public safety officers from Southwest Florida.
During the 22-day ride, the riders faced challenges that included erratic weather and flooding in the Northeast from Hurricane Irene.
The journey also became a tribute to a team member from Louisiana who died while training for the ride.
At 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25 there will be a parade featuring the firefighters at the Mercato. The film will follow at 7 p.m.
Additional showings will be on Wednesday, Sept. 26 and Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. A DVD of the film will be available Oct. 1.
