Filmmakers from Grain Media have recently released their documentary about the Skateistan project in Afghanistan “Skateistan: To Live and Skate in Kabul.”

This beautifully shot film that follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programs.
