Living life, the skaters’ journey in this unpopular sport in Jamaica. In this short documentary, we follow one of those people, Damani Smith, alias ‘Froggboss’- a talented street skateboarder who mentors at a youth center and the wider community, defying expectations.
The danger and the mastery of his approach to the sport are inspiring. You can fall at any time, instantly bear the cost, and get back up, and keep going. Seeing perseverance and courage acted out in physical space takes courage and persistence too.
