This astonishing documentary reveals a
side of Afghanistan we’ve never seen before, as skateboarding transforms the lives
of young people in Kabul. When young
Australian activists introduce the sport
- one of the few that girls are allowed to
play - the results are amazing. Rich girls
and poor street kids skate side-by-side, as
the empty fountain where kids practice,
becomes a place where youngsters of all
sects, religions and genders come together. But the activists’ efforts to raise money for a skatepark encounter resistance
from corrupt politicians and skeptical locals, and lurking in the background is the always-present threat of Taliban violence.
Huntington native & skateboarding industry
giant, Bryan Ridgeway will lead a post film
discussion. Bryan serves as Skateistan’s Global Skateboarding Advisor, bringing his vast
experience and connections in the world of
skateboarding.
