Plot Summary: Dogtown and Z-boys chronicles the overnight impact of the Zephyr team on skateboarding in the early 1970s, and the eventual collapse of the team later in the
same decade, as the individual team members split off and went their own way. Some (like Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta) became superstar skaters and successful entrepreneurs whose influence in the
field has been on-going. Others quietly used the fruits of skating fame to capitalize new career departures. Dogtown and Z-Boys, directed and co-written by skateboard legend-turned-filmmaker
Stacy Peralta, is the story of a group of accidental revolutionaries, gifted kids who inadvertently changed the world by doing what came naturally. It is also a unique documentary event: a
ground-level, eyewitness account of the birth of an organic American pop culture phenomenon.
