Synopsis

One Day in April is an intimate look at what goes on in the months leading up to a big college cycling race like Bloomington Indiana's "Little 500." The film stars two teams of cyclists, a women's and a men's team, as well as their coaches, families, and friends who support them through the ups and downs of training for the race. One Day in April also goes behind the scenes to show the organizers of the event and just what goes into creating and maintaining a level of non-profit integrity that may be considered rare in the modern world of college sports.{{cite web|last1=Write|first1=Robin|title=REVIEW: ONE DAY IN APRIL|url=https://filmotomy.com/2017/02/07/review-one-day-in-april/|website=Film to My|accessdate=10 October 2017}}
