J on Dunham is an award winning filmmaker with a passion for Italy and endurance sports. This is Jon's second film with FC. The first, BOSTON, was narrated by Academy Award winner Matt Damon and released worldwide by Lionsgate. Currently, he is in development on a documentary series, THE TEAM. Held in May every year and consisting of 21 stages of breathtaking racing throughout the Italian Peninsula, the Giro d'Italia (Tour of Italy) is more than just a bicycle race or world class sporting event.  It is a century old tradition that touches all of Italy, uniting communities and involving everyone.  Imbedded with a top pro-cycling team competing in 2019 "The Team" will be a multi-episode original documentary series which will go beyond the competition and showcase the many different aspects of the race that make it an important part of Italian and world cycling culture.
