 ‘Skateistan’ Goes to SundancePosted on Jan 20, 2011
Two years ago, we first caught wind of “Skateistan,” a project started by Australian skateboarding enthusiast Oliver Percovich with the aim of giving kids in Kabul, Afghanistan, a new outlet for fun and camaraderie, instead of war-stoked fear. Now, Percovich’s vision has been realized and captured on film in the aptly named documentary “Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul,” which figures into the lineup for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Check out the extended teaser below. —KA YouTube: Advertisement Previous item: Glenn Beck Has a Point Next item: Alabama’s Governor Joins the 21st Century New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

These kids are the lucky ones. They still have two legs. A lot of kids in Afghanistan don’t, thanks to American landmines. Another thing America can be really, really proud of.
