Summary	A profound insight into the stories behind the image of the Tour de France, showcasing the sacrifice, despair, strategy and chaos of those four weeks in July to reveal a fascinating new perspective on the greatest race on earth. Every year, the Tour de France puts on one of the great viewing spectacles of the year, showcasing extraordinary human endurance, sporting achievement, and one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. But underneath the facade, it's a different story - a story of suffering, sacrifice and pain. This is that story. Pain and Privilege doesn't glorify the world's greatest annual sporting event. Instead it gets under the skin of cycling's cruel super race and describes what the race that unites people from all over the globe is really like, from the laughs to the tears, from the politics to the personal, from inspirational triumph to desperate failure.
