	Dogtown and Z-Boys
	Dir. Stacy Peralta US 2002 Dogtown and Z-Boys chronicles the 70's Southern California skateboard culture from its origins and gives us an insider's look at what would become a national fashion and youth movement. The film chronicles a gang of surfers from Dogtown, a rundown section of Santa Monica and Venice, who are known as Z-Boys, after their hangout, the Zephyr Surf Shop. This ragged clan of multi-ethnic kids, including one girl, takes to the streets with their homemade skateboards riding canyon hills and paved playgrounds when the ocean waves are too low to surf. After a drought left many L.A. area swimming pools dry, the Z-Boys went pool-hopping with their boards bringing the sport of skating into a whole new realm. Peralta combines interviews with original Dogtowners and archival footage to create a spectacular and informative look at how a group of kids who had everything against them created a cultural phenomenon. Narrated by Sean Penn. (90m)
