Lords of Dogtown - Heath Ledger, Emile Hirsch, Victor Rasuk, Catherine Hardwicke
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
They came from nothing to challenge everything.
In the 1970s, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighbourhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-Boys paved the way to what is now referred to as "extreme sports," and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become a worldwide counter-culture phenomenon. But all of this fame would take its toll on the friendships that they thought would last a lifetime as the sport that started out as an afternoon hobby turned into big business.
