LORDS OF DOGTOWN (2005)

director catherine hardwick (THIRTEEN, TWILIGHT) takes on the tale of the z-boys, a group of surfer skaters growing up in santa monica in the 70s. the z-boys essentially made skating what we know it to be today, bringing their surfing-based style to form the foundations of contemporary skateboarding.
