Urbex on ROLLERSKATES - REDBULL COMMISSIONING URBEX CHECK IT OUT
I found this on RedBulls new 'Story Tellers' series - worth a watch to see inside disused airport
-
As Athens tentatively emerges from a decade of chaos, a group of young female roller skaters are fighting for space in their city. This new generation of Greeks grew up with few opportunities – but this taught them a valuable lesson: if you want to follow your passion, you have to do it yourself. While support and infrastructure for young people fell victim to the crisis, the girls are using roller skating to create their own community and express themselves.
Athena Skates is a dynamic filmic journey through the hidden skate spots and urban wastelands which punctuate this ancient metropolis. In the process, it shows what it means to be a young woman in Greece today and why finding a way to do what you love – despite the challenges – matters now more than ever.
