SKATEISTAN: TO LIVE AND DIE IN KABUL

WRITER

Skateistan: To Live and Die in Kabul, a short 10-minute documentary that made waves at Sundance this year, is a truly inspiring look at the youth of Afghanistan and how they deal with life in a war-torn country through skateboarding. If you aren't aware of the project, it's a brilliant initiative:

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.
