Estreno de Skateistan The Movie. Cines Trueba.
SKATE SESSION
Two unique skate stories to kick off the festival. Digging, tells the store of the first skate bow ever built in Spain. How it has remained underground for 30 years, and how some passionate skaters dug it out recovering a myth. Skateistan is a mind blowing story about two volunteers in Kabul, where they connect with the local kids through their skateboards
Opening of the Digging Exhibition Thursday June 31 at La Plaza skate shop
Skateistan The Movie
Skateistan: The Movie. Four wheels and a board in Kabul
In 2007, OLIVER PERCOVICH and SHARNA NOLAN arrived in Kabul with little more than a couple of skateboards. In a country where children make up more than half the population, Ollie and Sharna soon discovered that their boards drew in local children like an unstoppable magnetic force. After beginning regular skateboarding sessions in an abandoned Russian fountain in the district of Mekroyan, a group of local boys began to join them. Then came the girls. These initial sessions, informal at first, eventually led to the foundation of Skateistan, Afghanistan’s first co-educational skateboard school. This is Skateistan’s story.
