Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul

Check out this amazing video about the lives of young Afghanistan skaterboarders who attend the Skateistan project. 'Skateistan' is a charity project and the world's first co-educational skateboarding school, dedicated to teaching boys and girls from different ethnicities, skateboarding, arts and media. They aim to give the kids a chance to do something positive and give them useful skill set to work towards a better future and bridge social barriers.

Respect to the volunteers and Oliver Percovich who brought skateboarding to Afghanistan! This documentary has been nominated for 2012 Vimeo Festival + Awards. Please vote for it!
