Dogtown and Z-Boys

Last week was Mark Twain, kind of the essence of a documentary is to bring people somewhere else. See the world through someone else's eyes. Comprehend more. Open your mind.

So hopefully week 4 will do just that. Dogtown and Z-Boys.





Can skateboarding open your mind? Uh...yea, because it's awesome. The reviews? The preview? Right here.


Now it's hard to ignore that today in the USA is a holiday. MLK Jr. And even though Martin Luther King Jr. has a national holiday there is still controversy regarding him. Some say he is a womanizer and an adulterer. Others go on to say he was a communist. Personally I always want the truth. I'd prefer the whole picture. Pure honesty, but history, and yes, even documentarys have some falsehoods in them. So was he a womanizer and a communist? Maybe he was. But at the same time was he a revolutionist? Was he a symbol for hope and equality? Yes. So I say take the good and hold on to it and that's why I'm attaching a mini-documentary link to this week.(Unfortunately I can't endorse any particulary MLK doc. from personal experience though netflix has several that look watchable) MLK Jr's "I have a dream". This speech is a masterpiece. To say anymore would be excessive. Watch it:

"I Have A Dream"
