Documentary

The first feature-length documentary about the rise of skateboarding in Czechoslovakia presents a gripping tale of the search for freedom in a society stifled by the communist regime. Unique archive shots set to a driving punk soundtrack introduce us to the cult masters of the board and their never-ending party ride through the grey days of Normalization.

Plot

It's extremely interesting, this punk skate documentary shows a story that not many people know, you'll be surprised when you see how skateboarding was important for them. It's a must see for all skateboarders.
