ALMATY INDIE FILM FESTIVAL
The American dream
Overview
We follow two brothers from the slum who fell in love with skateboarding as kids. Now they struggle to spread the skateboarding culture in Uganda.
The young pioneers feel a responsibility to give the children, which they recruit to the sport, a better future. With few means of their own they turn to social media where they can market themselves, build a brand and attract donors, both for their own and the sports survival.
Could their dream even take them as far as the Olympics in Tokyo 2020?
