King Skate

Directed by Šimon Šafránek

Written by Alena Müllerová, Šimon Šafránek, Michal Nanoru

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