Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez
Featuring the mostly unknown art of African-American roller skating, this documentary details its association with hip hop and hip hop artist’s performances combined with a strong sense of community. Now facing bureaucratic obstacles such as zoning, the mass closing of rinks and restrictive political policies, directors Dyana Winkler and Tina Brown raise questions about artistic expression, race, and the freedom of self expression.
