Synopsis
AGENDA 2012 is an insider’s journey through the skateboarding scene. Beginning in the 1980s, when youth first discovered skateboarding, and continuing to today’s belligerent citizens and skateparks, the film takes viewers on an hour-long ride through the skateboarding movement. The film interweaves numerous fantastic tricks in Trier and surroundings and images that take viewers back in time with personal statements from scientists, citizens and skaters to illuminate the scene and its developments. With impressive imagery, Schmitz illustrates how a dedicated community and vision have developed and prospered. The personal views of those involved reveal how a world heritage became the cornerstone of a local scene, and how the status quo can be turned upside down with enough energy and nerve.
