$Skateistan | Short Documentary Most people might think that helmets, knee pads, and skateboards are unusual tools for rebuilding a society, but not Oliver Percovich, who in 2007 founded Skateistan, Afghanistans first and only co-ed skateboarding school. Families will often dedicate their limited resources to investing in the education and futures of their sons at the expense of their daughters. ➔ At Skateistan, girls are given the same opportunities that are afforded to boys and are provided a safe space where they can develop a sense of freedom. Percovich hopes that the new-found confidence coming out of this experience will help young women take charge of rebuilding of a society fractured by war. 2022 Update: Sadly, with the return of the Taliban, the sense of possibility that girls gained by learning to skateboard may soon be a remnant of the past. 🎥 Director/Producer: Iara Lee - Korean-Brazilian 🇰🇷 🇧🇷 activist filmmaker, world traveler and sports enthusiast 🏊🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ 🚴🏻‍♀️ INSTAGRAM: @iara_lee ❇️FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM - @culturesofresistance or check our website @ad 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more$
