SUMMARY

‘The Opposite of Death’ is a documentary film that explores the genesis of the American legacy brand Curtiss Motorcycles. The small team of visionaries who have created the first luxury electric motorcycle explain the ground breaking innovation that has given birth to a truly revolutionary machine – The 1.

‘The Opposite of Death’ is a documentary film about the foundation of the all electric Curtiss Motorcycle Co., the creation of the first motorcycle ever to be truly designed from the inside-out – The 1 –  and the experienced team dedicated to innovation and design that is behind it all.
