documentary film "Peace Park" street skating

I find this really beautiful, we should be so lucky to have our spots commemorated like this. Pretty sure anyone who has spent time in the streets will appreciate this.

thanks, botefdunn!
was pretty long but engaging. dug the skating and different stages of gentrification vs degeneracy. place might have more fights per capita than LOVE, huh? or just more cameras?
the end was sad, RIP to all the homeless and that young girl who knew about skating.
place would be a lot more of a plaza or spot if it didn't have grass squares on the inside of the ledges.
we don't need much to be occupied.

Was literally about to make the same thread!
Super good documentary about a legendary spot!

I skated Peace Park a few times when I was younger in the early 00's. I was pretty short so those ledges were hard to get up on. Haven't been for quite a while as I no longer live in Montreal. I do remember it being a crazy place though.
