This Ain't California
B-boy rebellion, communism, skateboarding, the Stasi…
A retrospective look at the youth cultures born in the German Democratic Republic. A celebration of the lust for life, a contemporary trip into the world of skate, a tale on three heroes and their boards, from their childhood in the seventies, through their teenage rebellion in the eighties and the summer of 1989, when their life changed forever, to 2011.
Directed by Marten Persiel · Written by Ira Wedel
