Documentary Filmmaker Sam Jones tells the story of Tony Hawk from his rise to stardom to his humble beginnings when he felt like he never fit in, even into the skateboarding world.

Centering around intimate new interviews with Tony Hawk himself, the film is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, a pioneer of modern vertical skating who is still pushing his limits at the age of 53, remains one of the most influential skateboarders of all time.
