Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul

“… this beautifully shot film follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programmes.”

Take 9 minutes and watch this incredible short film from Diesel New Voices. (viaTim Nolan)
