Breakaway Femmes tells the untold story of the 1980s women’s Tour de France—a heroic six-year era of professional cycling almost erased from history. Commissioned by Goldynaut Pictures, First Tone tracked down and filmed six Chinese cyclists who competed in the historic race, bringing their long-overlooked achievements back into the global spotlight.

Leveraging our exceptional investigative research and communication capabilities, First Tone successfully traced six pioneering Chinese athletes whose monumental achievements had faded into obscurity and remained unrecorded in China. By uncovering these lost trailblazers, conducting deep pre-interviews, and directing on-the-ground crews remotely, we unearthed the personal narratives that form the emotional backbone of this feature documentary.
