Brief Synopsis: Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy is a feature documentary that follows one of skateboarding's most infamous underground figures. Pro-skater Brewce Martin is the self-declared "dictator" of a rural Appalachian skate scene so extreme that MTV's bad-boy Bam Margera fled the property on his first visit. The movie follows Brewce for a tumultuous year as he struggles to keep Skatopia afloat. Though he declares skating his "prime directive," the film reveals a fiercely driven entrepreneur determined to achieve success on his own terms.

There's some other cool movies showing there too.

I saw the movie last night. It was ok. More about Brewce than skating. It's playing again tonight. Check it out, if you have nothing else to do.
