Synopsis

‘Protect Me from Myself’ takes viewers on an in-depth journey into the unique CG motorcycle culture of Tarsus, Türkiye. The series follows two cousins who after being trained by master mechanic Kemal Usta, spread their fame across Anatolia as legendary CG pilots. We witness their preparation for an extraordinary and risky race on the highway, the ultimate test of their skill and courage. This is more than just a racing story; it is a journey into the heart of a passionate subculture. The film explores the deep connections between the riders, their modified motorcycles, and the adrenaline-fuelled life of the CG world in the Taurus Mountains.
