Caught between prohibitive policies, lack of public safety and exclusionary behaviours within the skate community, this film explores issues of safety concerning a group of female and marginalised gender skateboarders in Leeds, UK.
Building on the work of Civic Skateboarding, a project attempting to make public spaces safer and more inclusive, this film seeks to offer further insight into the experiences, viewpoints and hopes from this often overlooked community.
