Shaw Boyz: "They always mention Tony Hawk..."

Question: Who do you think of when you think of skateboarding? 

Shaw Boy: “They always mention Tony Hawk, it's not only Tony Hawk. It's the people right behind me, it’s the man over there… It’s multicultural it's not just for one person. It's for everybody.”

———

Shaw Boyz is a short documentary following a group of young teens as they navigate a rapidly gentrifying environment in the historical Shaw neighborhood. Exploring culture, gentrification, community, and how it all ties to the creation of DC’s first public skate park, Shaw Boyz is a delve into the organic ways marginalized communities heal one another through third places.
