Skateistan

Earlier this month the RWC crew posted the mini documentary about the kids in Uganda that build their own skate park. The RWC crew have just been turned on to this amazing short film by the ever eloquently wordy Georgina Burrows...Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a beautifully shot film that
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. Amazing.
