Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a 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 programmes.
Back in 2009, Cameron Sinclair announced that Skateistan, established in May 2007, had been made the first recipient of the GameChangers fund by Nike Inc., in collaboration with Architecture for Humanity. | Related
