Concrete Law 2024

Overview

Concrete Law is a 2024 documentary film that examines the conflict between a skatepark and bureaucratic control. The documentary runs for fifty minutes and was released on April sixteenth, twenty twenty-four. The film explores the history of the Channel Street Skatepark, which operated successfully for over a decade under the Interstate 110 despite its illegal creation. Overpass construction ultimately led to an ongoing shutdown of the location. Channel Street founders and advocates have continued to push for a reopening, though the legal matter has proven to be a much more complex task than originally imagined. The documentary uncovers the history of the park from its creation to its current status using interviews with park founders, local skaters, professional skaters, business owners, and city officials.
