The power of DIY culture
How renegade skateboarders turn their frustration with the lack of government support into fuel for political action. The Channel Street Skatepark flourished for over a decade until overpass construction led to an ongoing shutdown. Facing the fate of demolition, founders and advocates navigate their way through political minefields to save their community-built skatepark, in a section of one of the busiest shipping ports on the planet.
An award winning documentary film Concrete Law, directed by April Jones, captures the essence and grit of urban resilience and solidarity. A story that transcends skate culture and tests community perseverance in the face of political challenges.
