A new short documentary film examines the spacial relationships between skateboarding and architecture in New Zealand.

Produced by SwineTrotters, the film by Johnny Agnew interviews skateboarders, asking them to articulate how they perceive the city environment and how skateboarding informs their perspectives.

The documentary seeks to present a balance of viewpoints, with local authorities also sharing their concerns for the damage skateboarders inflict on the architecture of the city.
