Biniam Girmay, en lovande sjuttonårig cyklist från Eritrea i Afrika drömmer om att en dag tävla i Tour de France, det mest prestigefyllda av världens Grand Tour-lopp. I åratal har han trott att Touren bara är till för europeiska eller vita cyklister, eftersom det under tävlingens över hundra upplagor bara förekommit en handfull svarta deltagare. Att följa Biniams utveckling mot allt bättre prestationer ger en sällsynt inblick i cykelsporten i Afrika. Han försöker komma med i ett internationellt proffslag, men visumreglerna sätter ständigt käppar i hjulen. Och efter att han har gift sig och blivit pappa i Eritrea blir det slitsamt att befinna sig 600 mil bort. Mot alla odds klättrar Biniam i den internationella rankingen. Med sin första seger i en "klassiker" visar han att afrikanska cyklister kan vinna i de stora tävlingarna. Över en natt blir han cykelhjälte, men kan han förändra sporten för alltid? "This Is My Moment" ger en unik inblick i Biniam Girmays väg till framgång och mognad. I över sex år var vännen Lieven Corthouts den enda filmaren som tilläts dokumentera Biniams liv, både i Eritrea och i Europa. Biniam filmade också själv med vloggkamera, och filmen är resultatet av en gemensam skapandeprocess.
