Dragonslayer

A sad but compelling doc about a lowest of low-level pro skateboarder Josh Sandoval, as he struggles with poverty, drugs, alcohol, and parenthood. It’s reflective of the nation’s housing bubble that abanonded houses with empty pools make for the best skating. Therefore, a direct result of economic collapse is more skaters. I found this movie heartbreaking, but an important work of art that helps put my own life in perspective.
