Prepare to be inspired by the oldest woman to cycle across Europe!

"Pearls of Peace" follows Northern Virginian Lynn Salvo’s extraordinary journey as she cycles through breathtaking landscapes, encounters wildlife and human companions, navigates mechanical and physical challenges, and meets inspiring people along the way. With a mission to promote peace while honoring her brother, an Air Force Pilot killed in the Vietnam War, Lynn rides 4,330 miles through 12 countries over 95 days, setting a Guinness World Record as the oldest woman (at age 75) to bicycle across Europe from north to south. The documentary will be followed by a Q&A with the film's producer/subject, Lynn Salvo.
