Dogtown and Z Boys

Skateboarding legend Stacy Peralta directs this look back at the birth of modern skateboarding via an examination of the Zephyr skating team, who brought Southern California surf style and street culture to the burgeoning sport and, searching for new spots and ways to skate, employed the handiwork of the government and corporate structure in ways the original architects could never have imagined. Packed with vintage skate footage and a wall-to-wall soundtrack of 60s and 70s rock, this award-winning documentary captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit of a youth movement that changed the sport forever.
