The Levi Effect: The Story of Levi Leipheimer


10/23/2012

Professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer has been nearly silent in his efforts to impact the lives of those around him. Until now.

NCM Fathom Events, Bike Monkey and Citizen Pictures invite you to movie theaters nationwide for a special one night event on Tuesday October 23, 2012 at 7:30 PM (local time) as they debut the untold story of professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer in The Levi Effect.

The Levi Effect is the true story of Levi Leipheimer, who having struggled to claim his rank among cycling’s elite, now finds himself in a place that he’d never considered: that his greatest legacy may not be his athletic success, but rather how he’s captured the hearts and impacted the lives of people around the world. The event will begin with an introduction from Levi where he will set up the documentary The Levi Effect. Immediately following the debut of this personal account, Levi will return with some of his friends for an in-depth panel discussion about the current state of professional cycling and what the future of the sport looks like. Panelists include actor Patrick Dempsey, filmmaker Frank Matson, and others.
