After 500 years of Portuguese colonization, Angola suffered more than 30 years of war, which turned this African power into a completely destroyed country and with thousands of refugees. In 2002, the end of the war brought new life into this new free country and big modern buildings began to appear aligned in a vertigo skyline which three years are being used by a group of young skateboarders who daily leave their neighborhoods on the periphery to go skating with his battered tables and broken shoes. Long live Skateboarding!
