Movie Summary:
In the 1970s, young guys in Southern California transformed America's view of skateboarding by popularizing showy and dangerous stunts. Years later, one of those guys, Stacy Peralta, made a documentary about that era titled "Dogtown and Z-Boys" (2001). Peralta went on to write a screenplay for a docudrama re-creating the milieu that was released as "Lords of Dogtown" (2005) with actors playing the young men. The docudrama was directed by Catherine Hardwicke ("Thirteen").
