Watch the Nine-Minute Skateistan Documentary

Friday, October 29th, 2010


To Live and Skate in Kabul is now available to watch online. The beautifully shot documentary was filmed in January 2010 and follows two Skateistan students, Murza and Fazila, through the streets of Kabul.

After winning 2 awards at the L.A. Skate Film Festival in September, legendary director Stacy Peralta (Dogtown and the Z-Boys and Riding Giants) wrote to the director Von Einsiedel saying “the film really knocked me out, it brought tears to my eyes and made me realize why I’ve ridden a skateboard all of my life.”

The film has been officially selected for a number of other festivals worldwide.
