This free-wheeling and funny film focuses on young female skateboarders in New York City, featuring real-life crew Skate Kitchen. Introverted 18-year-old skateboarder Camille promises her mother she'll hang up her board for good after a startling injury. But when she discovers the Skate Kitchen on Instagram, a subculture of diverse young women whose lives revolve around skating, she bravely seeks them out. However, with a new sense of belonging comes new social obstacles to navigate, and Camille learns the true definition of family. Skate Kitchen expertly captures the experience of women in male-dominated spaces and subcultures and we will be joined for the screening by local members of Chicks In Bowls and Plymouth City Roller Derby players.
