	Movies - Dogtown and Z-Boys

Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002) is a documentary about the history of skateboarding.

Using a mix of film of the Zephyr skateboard team shot in the 1970s by Craig Stecyk and more recent interviews, the documentary tells the story of the history of skateboarding (and to a lesser extent surfing) culture. It is narrated by Sean Penn and directed by Stacy Peralta.

Dogtown was the name given to the rundown neighborhood in Venice, California around the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the hometurf of the skateboarders and surfers of the Zephyr team, the Z-boys. The Z-boys, with their radical style of skateboarding and punk attitude, played a big role in forming the skateboarding subculture.
