Skatepark Sisterhood
22min | Documentary | Producer (Ethiopia Filming)
A short film about a group of Ethiopian young women fight to create a skatepark of their own and to spread their love of skateboarding, and the liberation it offers, to girls across the country.
Despite the challenges of red tape and civil war, what never fades is their pure love of skating.
Skatepark Sisterhood is a powerful evocation of exuberant youth, pursuing the thing you love and the passionate desire to share it with others.
​
I am proud to have produced this film alongside an amazing Director and Producers who have been a beautiful force to work with.
Filming in Ethiopia during conflict was a challenge but everyone came together and pulled all stops to make it all happen. Proud of everyone who took part in making this a reality, including the beautiful ladies who shared their life with us.
