Tagline: Retaliate or tolerate… a beautiful human grind. Our film “steps ” challenges misconceptions and labels though a local story with a worldly message. Synopsis: A deliberate choice was made…to tolerate an act of vandalism by others, to reach a higher goal. A skateboard provides the vehicle for adults to bridge the gap with youth. Jonathan sums it up, “It’s better to facilitate something for them rather than tell them not to do it. Help them be great people.”
