YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ethan Brooks’s short documentary, "Ghost Bike," is the story of Brooklyn resident Mirza Molberg, who began volunteering with his local ghost bike project in 2011. In 2016, his girlfriend, Lauren Davis, was fatally struck by a car on her bicycle en route to work. Hours after the accident, Molberg stopped at the site of Davis’s death. “There was no evidence [of the accident],” he said. “I created Lauren’s ghost bike the following week.” Much like the spectral bikes themselves, the film renders a personal tragedy universal.

This film is part of The Atlantic Selects, a showcase of short documentaries from independent creators curated by The Atlantic.
