Girls Skateboarding Movie Wins Oscar For Best Short Doc!

Amazing to see that "Learning to Skateboard in a War Zone (if You're a Girl)" won BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT award at the Oscars tonight!

If you haven't seen the film "Learning to Skateboard in a War Zone (if You're a Girl)" it is not to be missed.

Shot in Afghanistan, the film highlights the work of the non-profit Skateistan, which was founded in 2007 in Kabul to teach Afghan girls and boys how to skate. Young skater girls take center stage as Director Carol Dysinger explores their journey from skateboarding novices to nollie-ing pros, and perhaps, more importantly, the life skills and confidence that they develop along the way.


You can watch the entire film on the A&E Channel.
