Dog Town and Z-Boys

Documentary about the birth of modern skateboarding. This was really intriguing. I don’t think skateboarding has changed the world like some of these people think it has, but it’s certainly a big deal, and worthy of the treatment it gets here. It’s really fascinating how many of the people are alive today, and how well everything was documented as it happened. It’s also quite interesting to see how each person involved has been affected by the choices they’ve made in life. This is the kind of movie that kids should see… sure there are bad words and adult themes and such, but the lessons of real consequences to one’s actions are really brought home be people who’ve lived it.
