Through the story of its most iconic figure, Arlo Eisenberg, the film unravels how a once-exploding movement was cut down before it ever had the chance to fully take hold. From corporate backlash to its abrupt disappearance from the X Games, and a fervent rejection from skateboarders around the world (including VICE), a thriving subculture was pushed back into the shadows almost overnight.
