Zero老大Jamie Thomas和摄影师Chad Foreman于6月份第一次来到了阿富汗Skateistan滑板场，支持阿富汗滑板事业的发展，帮助那里的孩子拜托战争的纠纷，这部纪录片便记载了Jamie Thomas这次旅程
In June 2014, skater Jamie Thomas and photographer Chad Foreman visited Skateistan in Afghanistan for the very first time.
Jamie is the founder of Zero Skateboards and Fallen Footwear, which have been key supporters of Skateistan since back in 2009. Not only have these sponsorships kept our students on boards, but the companies have partnered with Skateistan to create a co-branded deck series and shoes, with a portion of proceeds benefitting Skateistan’s schools.
After such a long partnership this trip was highly anticipated. Jamie and Chad certainly didn’t disappoint, offering endless trick tips for our skaters and photography pointers for our media students. Their skills on a board and behind a camera were matched only by the enthusiasm of our students to meet them and skate together.
Afghanistan defied Jamie's expectations of the country, with its gorgeous landscapes, culture of hospitality, and fun (if a little rough) skate spots.
This video was 100% filmed and edited by former Skateistan student, Hamdullah. Hamdullah has been involved with Skateistan for years and is now the Communications Officer in Kabul.
