MOVIE #1887 ........................."Learning to Skateboard in a war zone (esp. if you are a girl)"

Movie #1887 "Learning to Skateboard in a War Zone" -- saw it on xfinity on demand --
the title says a lot of what happens in this short doc, but there's so much seen in the eyes of these little girls in a society that demeans their existence.  They have to sneak into the schools to be taught, and then to a skateboarding place where they do this inside, because they are not allowed out on the street --- and when they are 13 they have to stay in their houses (in Afghanistan)  This film will make you angry, but joyful that they have this outlet.  I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars.  The film is divided into the 5 steps to skateboard (like skating the ramp, etc.)  We are in the classroom half the time and I found that esp. interesting.
