Dogtown: a 1970s Santa Monica seaside slum and extreme surfers’ paradise. Z-Boys: an ethnically diverse, street-smart, naughty crew of innovative boys and a girl who trashed the cutie-pie competition standard of skateboarding with their radical surf-inspired manoeuvres. Their influence catapulted the sport into a high-flying, multi-million dollar celebrity industry. Sean Penn narrates this exuberant and thoroughly energetic eyewitness account of youth culture. It comprises unique footage of the era mixed with contemporary interviews and a rollicking rock ‘n roll soundtrack.
