Concrete Law Film Screening @ Kennedy School

  • McMenamins Kennedy School Theater 5736 Northeast 33rd Avenue Portland, OR, 97211 United States (map)

CONCRETE LAW is an award winning, feature length documentary film, directed by SPS board member April Jones.

 

SYNOPSIS: How renegade skateboarders turn their frustration with the lack of government support into fuel for political action. The Channel Street Skatepark flourished for over a decade until overpass construction led to an ongoing shutdown. Facing the fate of demolition, founders and advocates navigate their way through political minefields to save their community-built skatepark, in a section of one of the busiest shipping ports on the planet. 

 

This film captures the essence and grit  of urban resilience and solidarity. A story that transcends skate culture and tests community perseverance in the face of political challenges.
