the film

overview

In the mountains of Bolivia, a collective of Indigenous women challenge gender stereotypes through skateboarding — tearing
down the notoriously steep streets wearing traditional pollera skirts. For them, skateboarding is more than a sport — it’s a statement of resilience and empowerment in a machismo society.

As the collective gains visibility, they are working toward their biggest goal yet: building Bolivia’s first skate park and community center designed for girls.

Through screenings, conversations, and community action, we aim to use this film to amplify imillaskate’s movement, inspire women and girls globally, and directly support the skatepark’s creation.
