The first feature-length documentary about the rise of skateboarding in Czechoslovakia is a gripping tale of the search for freedom in a society stifled by the communist regime. Unique archive footage set to a driving punk soundtrack introduces the cult masters of the board and their never-ending party ride through the grey days of Normalisation.
