Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You're a Girl)

This movie is great! The teachers are total badasses who foster confidence and courage in their students. I love that you get to see the teachers and students at school and also in their homes so you get a sense of what their lives are like. It is awesome to see the students gain confidence throughout the school year. I hope to someday be as brave as everyone in this film.

First of all, Skateistan? Never heard of it, love it. Such a cool name for something so unique and life-changing. Really loved this documentary short. I had some notion of the difficulties women and girls had in Afghanistan but not even close to the real dangers they face everyday just by being alive. Also, its really positive to see the families support their daughters choices and to see a brighter future for the girls. Lastly, learning how to skateboard? Couldn't be a better sport to learn about courage, learn how to fall and get up everytime, learn to believe and hope for a better tomorrow. Really recommend it!

One of the best movies that I've ever seen. I encourage everyone to see it. Very briefly, women help other women survive and thrive through a very hostile environment. I liked how all these girls and women continue to have hope.
