Feature Documentary

QUEENS OF CONCRETE is a coming-of-age documentary following three young skateboarders over six years. In 2016 Hayley (14), Ava (13) and Charlotte (9) have their sights firmly fixed on the 2020 Summer Olympics – the first ever Games to hold a skateboarding event. With just a few spots left on the Australian Olympic team, the girls are given life-changing opportunities to compete on the world stage. But heartbreak swiftly follows as they each experience devastating hardship. Hayley is dumped by multiple coaches while coming to terms with her sexuality, two of Ava’s best friends unexpectedly and tragically pass away, and Charlotte is disqualified from the Olympic Team due to forces beyond her control. From humble beginnings in rural Australia to iconic locations around the world, QUEENS OF CONCRETE starts as as an Olympic journey but soon becomes a tale of resilience, triumph and self-discovery.
