00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,420
- [George W. Bush] American
and coalition forces

6
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,250
are in the early stages
of military operations

7
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:30,200
to disarm Iraq, to free its people,

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,308
and to defend the world from great danger.

9
00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:33,522
(buzzing digital music)

10
00:00:33,522 --> 00:00:37,433

00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:05,593
(crosstalk)
- There's been several

14
00:01:05,593 --> 00:01:09,593
casualties already (crosstalk).

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,640

dramatic ethereal music)

(moves into flowing acoustic
bass and cello music)

18
00:02:08,363 --> 00:02:10,940
- Because of the waves of migration

19
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:12,320
that happened in Amman,

20
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,480
first of all you have the
Palestinian migrations to Amman,

21
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,282
then you have the Iraqis
that are coming to Amman,

22
00:02:18,282 --> 00:02:19,962
that came to Amman.

23
00:02:19,962 --> 00:02:20,810
And then you have the Syrians,

24
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:22,193
and then you have the
Somalis, and the Yemanis,

25
00:02:22,193 --> 00:02:24,350
and the Sudanis.

26
00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:26,100
And then you have the ex-pat community

27
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:29,253
that also coming to Amman to
work in humanitarian work.

28
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Everyone that's coming
to Amman is bringing

29
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,180
their own culture, and their own music,

30
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:37,390
and their own food, and
their own, you know ideas,

31
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:38,440
and the way they look at life.

32
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,775
And that's creating a
rich, vibrant fabric.

33
00:02:41,775 --> 00:02:46,775
(culturally rich and flowing
acoustic bass and cello music)

34
00:03:38,445 --> 00:03:41,195
Well my name is Mohammed Zakaria.

35
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,723
I'm 32 years old.

36
00:03:44,947 --> 00:03:46,720
I'm a Palestinian, Jordanian.

37
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,540
I've always had a identity crisis.

38
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:53,690
I never had an identity crisis,
I was like, yeah whatever.

39
00:03:53,690 --> 00:03:56,390
And then I was traveling to the US once,

40
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:57,547
and everybody was asking
me, "Where you from?"

41
00:03:57,547 --> 00:03:59,670
And I was like, where am I from?

42
00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:03,593
Am I from Jordan, am I
Palestinian, what am I?

43
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:06,900
Now I say I'm a Jordanian Palestinian.

44
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,650
My parents are Palestinian,
I never lived in Palestine.

45
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:14,627
Like any Palestinian family
you always hear about Palestine

46
00:04:14,627 --> 00:04:16,677
and the stories, and I have family there.

47
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,610
I visit quite often.

48
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:22,280
I got a skateboard when I was 10 years old

49
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:23,823
as a birthday gift.

50
00:04:25,501 --> 00:04:27,480
From there I was just riding around.

51
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,210
And then when I was 16
we got the internet,

52
00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:31,603
and I found out you can do tricks.

53
00:04:31,603 --> 00:04:32,950
That was it for me, I was like yeah,

54
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:34,950
that's what I wanted to do.

55
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:35,783
- [Artist] Irritated?

56
00:04:35,783 --> 00:04:37,860
No, I don't think so, I
think just interested.

57
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,400
So many are interested in my music.

58
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,928
They come up and say things like,

59
00:04:40,928 --> 00:04:42,157
"How do you write those songs?

60
00:04:42,157 --> 00:04:43,435
"What do you do first?"

61
00:04:43,435 --> 00:04:47,518
(buzzy syncopated digital music)

62
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:55,880
How do you write those songs?

63
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,064
(buzzy digital music)

70
00:05:21,433 --> 00:05:24,917
(scratching vinyl, chants
and synthesizer music)

71
00:05:24,917 --> 00:05:26,045
♪ Oh my god ♪

72
00:05:26,045 --> 00:05:29,956

♪ Oh my god just look at me oh my god ♪

74
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:39,210

and beats music)

75
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:47,005
(wheels scraping)

76
00:05:47,005 --> 00:05:49,753
(Tamer laughs)

77
00:05:49,753 --> 00:05:53,420
(bright, piano tones music)

78
00:05:55,263 --> 00:05:59,800
- Skateboarding is 99%
failure and 1% success.

79
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,700
And so in order to land the trick you have

80
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:03,153
to fall so many times.

81
00:06:04,013 --> 00:06:06,920
And I think this shared
struggle that all skateboarders

82
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,723
understand is something
that's quite unique.

83
00:06:11,190 --> 00:06:13,170
I understand your struggle
to land the straight,

84
00:06:13,170 --> 00:06:14,840
it's a sentimental battle
that you have to go

85
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,167
to land this trick.

86
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:19,993
And so I relate to you on a deeper level.

87
00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:25,892
We used to go to my
friends house in Smeisani,

88
00:06:25,892 --> 00:06:27,270
and skate in his backyard for a bit.

89
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:31,953
And then we'd go to cruise
the streets looking for spots.

90
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:36,070
And we usually just ended
up in the Burger King

91
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:38,810
of Smeisani, skating in the parking lot,

92
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:41,403
there's a small curb that
we always like to skate.

93
00:06:43,210 --> 00:06:44,093
From there,

94
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,210
the culture street was built.

95
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:50,730
And it was perfect it was
like a big pedestrian plaza.

96
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:54,470
It was all marble, anything
you might need really.

97
00:06:54,470 --> 00:06:57,370
Benches, you know ledges, stairs.

98
00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:59,080
Anything a skateboarder would need.

99
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,938
And so that was like,
whoa that's our spot.

100
00:07:02,938 --> 00:07:04,300
(wheels thuds)

101
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:08,383
(upbeat synthesizer horns music)

102
00:07:12,446 --> 00:07:16,613
(man singing in foreign language)

103
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:36,560
We used to get in a lot of
trouble with people there.

104
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,900
'Cause you know if you bring
anything new into a culture

105
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:39,733
it's gonna be resisted.

106
00:07:39,733 --> 00:07:42,910
That's like the initial reaction to it.

107
00:07:42,910 --> 00:07:44,083
And so from there,

108
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,050
we started skated there.

109
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:47,620
And then the Iraq War happened.

110
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:49,370
And then there was a
bunch of kids who moved

111
00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:53,470
from Iraq, a bunch of ex-pat kids moved

112
00:07:53,470 --> 00:07:54,470
from Iraq to Amman.

113
00:07:54,470 --> 00:07:56,410
And they heard about the skate
scene in the cultural street.

114
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:59,110
There was like four of us.

115
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:01,013
And was me and three other friends.

116
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,720
And from there it started growing.

117
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,100
And what happened after
was Red Bull was having

118
00:08:07,101 --> 00:08:08,180
a skate competition.

119
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:10,540
And I think this is the
point where skateboarding

120
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:12,910
and the scene in Jordan actually blew up.

121
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:15,380
So this is when we found there was a bunch

122
00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:17,102
of other people who skate.

123
00:08:17,102 --> 00:08:20,702
(wheels scraping)

124
00:08:20,702 --> 00:08:24,119
(light percussion music)

125
00:08:27,834 --> 00:08:31,260
I think skateboarding's about
abilities more than anything.

126
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:32,660
It's the way you see things.

127
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:38,990
(easy going percussion and
echoing singular guitar music)

128
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,880
That tells you that
there's not neccessarily

129
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,690
one way to look at things.

130
00:08:54,690 --> 00:08:56,640
There's so many ways to look at things.

131
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:01,580
And like a single object that you look at

132
00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:04,670
can be viewed from so many
different perspectives,

133
00:09:04,670 --> 00:09:06,524
creating so many different meanings.

134
00:09:06,524 --> 00:09:09,691
(light flowing music)

135
00:09:13,035 --> 00:09:15,020
Basically, you know the city is like

136
00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:17,520
a playground for skateboarders.

137
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:20,850
Regular people call it like obstacles,

138
00:09:20,850 --> 00:09:22,650
skaters call it skate spots.

139
00:09:22,650 --> 00:09:24,250
This is not an obstacle,
this is a spot for me

140
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:26,685
to have fun, this is a
spot for me to skate.

141
00:09:26,685 --> 00:09:30,270
(light flowing music)

142
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:33,450
At the end of the day it's just fun,

143
00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:34,810
skateboarding is fun,
and this is why I think

144
00:09:34,810 --> 00:09:37,283
a lot of kids are hooked on skateboarding.

145
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,870
You go out with your crew and
you're just goofing around

146
00:09:43,870 --> 00:09:46,170
having fun, and you're
challenging yourself.

147
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:47,550
This is the only challenge that you have,

148
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:49,833
it's a mental challenge inside your head.

149
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:53,673
It's the challenge you
create for yourself.

150
00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:57,150
Nobody's forcing you into
doing a certain trick.

151
00:09:57,150 --> 00:09:59,140
Nobody's forcing you
to skate a certain way,

152
00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:02,083
or certain style, you
do what you want to do,

153
00:10:02,083 --> 00:10:05,290
and you have the community
around you to support you.

154
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:10,290
(light, flowing percussion
and orchestral strings music)

155
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:30,903
I think the space in Amman
is very discriminating.

156
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:33,483
If you're a young kid,

157
00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:35,980
you don't have any money,
there's really no where

158
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:36,813
for you to go.

159
00:10:36,813 --> 00:10:39,020
So you end up on the
street and this is where

160
00:10:39,020 --> 00:10:42,224
problems start, and women
are like foreign to you,

161
00:10:42,224 --> 00:10:43,057
they're like aliens.

162
00:10:43,057 --> 00:10:44,590
Because you never interacted with women.

163
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:46,590
You go to public schools it's segregated.

164
00:10:46,590 --> 00:10:48,370
You weren't allowed in coffee shops,

165
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:53,160
'cause it's like they have
a couples only policy.

166
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,683
You weren't allowed in malls.

167
00:10:55,871 --> 00:10:58,000
The space in Amman is very discriminating.

168
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,270
It's either residential
space, or a private space.

169
00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:04,050
If you don't have a certain
socioeconomic status

170
00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:05,800
it was hard for you to do anything.

171
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,053
That's why skateboarding
was very important to me,

172
00:11:09,053 --> 00:11:12,131
because it was an outlet
from all that stuff.

173
00:11:12,131 --> 00:11:14,964
(wheels scraping)

174
00:11:20,460 --> 00:11:21,847
And so in 2014

175
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,270
I got contacted by Make Life Skate Life,

176
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:28,723
which is a German NGO.

177
00:11:29,950 --> 00:11:31,730
What they do is they build skate parks

178
00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:35,506
in underprivileged communities, or areas.

179
00:11:35,506 --> 00:11:40,339
(flowing flute and acoustic guitar music)

180
00:11:42,610 --> 00:11:44,350
That was a really emotional time for me

181
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:47,023
to be able to raise that much money.

182
00:11:47,023 --> 00:11:49,060
And then, the volunteers
who came to Amman,

183
00:11:49,060 --> 00:11:51,653
it was like a bunch of
volunteers from Europe,

184
00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:54,440
from the States, from England,

185
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,280
from like a bunch a different places.

186
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,690
They met up in Amman.

187
00:11:57,690 --> 00:12:02,607
(upbeat, easy going bass and guitar music)

188
00:12:05,894 --> 00:12:08,520
The thing with skateboarding
is that if you're,

189
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,840
if you're a skater and
you go anywhere else,

190
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,560
you automatically have friends
from the skate community.

191
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,290
And so, you know these people were friends

192
00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:20,620
before they even knew each other.

193
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:22,740
The energy on the construction site was

194
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:24,003
the nicest energy.

195
00:12:25,468 --> 00:12:27,130
(tools thud)

196
00:12:27,130 --> 00:12:29,310
The idea is that you form
the shape of a skate park

197
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:31,313
before you start laying any concrete.

198
00:12:32,860 --> 00:12:35,143
The prepping alone was a lot of work.

199
00:12:37,431 --> 00:12:39,200
And then the pouring of the concrete,

200
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,790
to make the concrete smooth it has

201
00:12:41,790 --> 00:12:43,750
to go through three rounds.

202
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:45,450
It was all done by hand, you know.

203
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,940
I think the love for
skateboarding manifested itself

204
00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:52,770
in the skate park in
the construction side.

205
00:12:52,770 --> 00:12:55,710
And the cool thing about
the construction is,

206
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:57,420
the construction period is
that it wasn't something

207
00:12:57,420 --> 00:12:58,790
that was fenced off.

208
00:12:58,790 --> 00:13:02,040
It wasn't something that was
dropped on to the community

209
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520
without them knowing what was going on.

210
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,939
The community was really involved.

211
00:13:06,939 --> 00:13:11,439
(flowing, cultural low strings music)

212
00:13:34,659 --> 00:13:37,492
(wheels scraping)

213
00:13:44,479 --> 00:13:47,010
(children playing)

214
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:48,540
The name 7 Hills came from Amman,

215
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:51,573
because it was built on seven mountains.

216
00:13:51,573 --> 00:13:56,573
(easy going percussion, deep
strings and synthesizer music)

217
00:14:33,251 --> 00:14:35,466
(children playing)

218
00:14:35,466 --> 00:14:37,967
(wheels scraping)

219
00:14:37,967 --> 00:14:42,967
(easy going percussion, deep
strings and synthesizer music)

220
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:49,260
(wheels scraping)

221
00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:55,709
(easy going percussion, deep
strings and synthesizer music)

222
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:10,050
I think the city's also
manifested in the skate park

223
00:15:10,050 --> 00:15:13,346
in a way, 'cause you see the
community at the skate park.

224
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:16,070
We have kids from Palestine,
we have kids from Iraq,

225
00:15:16,070 --> 00:15:18,250
we have kids from Syria,
from Yeman, from Somalia,

226
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,840
from Sudan, boys and girls.

227
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,997
And they're all like mingling
together in this community.

228
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,710
Just kids want to have fun, you know.

229
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:28,760
If you bring something
that's fun into a community

230
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,750
and you say, "Here, go have fun,"

231
00:15:31,750 --> 00:15:36,094
I think all the barriers
kind of like disappear.

232
00:15:36,094 --> 00:15:41,094
(easy going percussion, deep
strings and synthesizer music)

233
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:45,279
- My name is Kas Wauters.

234
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:49,010
I'm the skateboarding director of 7 Hills.

235
00:15:49,010 --> 00:15:50,950
I'm from Belgium from Rouvroy.

236
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:55,140
And I came for the first
time to Amman in 2016,

237
00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:56,521
the end of 2016.

238
00:15:56,521 --> 00:15:58,730
(crosstalk)

239
00:15:58,730 --> 00:16:01,230
(fuzzy music)

240
00:16:02,694 --> 00:16:06,212
(wheels popping and scraping)

241
00:16:06,212 --> 00:16:09,045
(wheels scraping)

242
00:16:11,552 --> 00:16:13,615
(wheels pop)

243
00:16:13,615 --> 00:16:17,026
(wheels scraping)

244
00:16:17,026 --> 00:16:19,898
(wheels pop)

245
00:16:19,898 --> 00:16:23,731
(wheels popping and scraping)

246
00:16:29,169 --> 00:16:31,502
(Kas yells)

247
00:16:32,451 --> 00:16:37,451
(upbeat percussion and
fuzzy digital music)

248
00:16:39,309 --> 00:16:41,520
Like the protein of
skateboarding is having fun,

249
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,950
and having fun makes it possible for kids

250
00:16:44,890 --> 00:16:48,043
to forget about all the differences
they see between people.

251
00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:52,383
And just interact in a
positive way with each other.

252
00:16:55,384 --> 00:16:56,300
(wheels scraping)

253
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,110
The tool to connect

254
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,923
refugees, locals, boys, girls,

255
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:06,150
just as like one thing,
and that's skateboarding.

256
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:10,650
(upbeat percussion and digital music)

257
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,520
If you teach the kids at
a young age they're equal

258
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,807
they can take it with them.

259
00:17:27,807 --> 00:17:32,511
And they can like, give
it to the next generation.

260
00:17:32,511 --> 00:17:37,011
(upbeat percussion and digital music)

261
00:17:44,474 --> 00:17:48,807
(moves to rapid digital percussion)

262
00:17:53,943 --> 00:17:58,943
(moves to upbeat percussion
and digital music)

263
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:19,032
(wheels scraping)

264
00:18:19,032 --> 00:18:24,032
(upbeat percussion and digital music)

265
00:18:24,122 --> 00:18:26,961
Whoa!
(wheels scrape)

266
00:18:26,961 --> 00:18:29,711
(people playing)

267
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:34,980
- So my name is Matias.

268
00:18:36,749 --> 00:18:38,120
It's kind of hard to
introduce myself here,

269
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:40,850
because no one can spell
Matias or pronounce it.

270
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:44,440
So I go with Matze, which
is like easier for them.

271
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,763
I'm 28, I'm from Hamburg, Germany.

272
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:50,077
I got here like four weeks ago.

273
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:55,429
(upbeat percussion and digital music)

274
00:19:03,628 --> 00:19:05,640
(kids playing)

275
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,950
- Hey, my name is Frederick.

276
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:10,793
I'm 23 years old, and I'm
from Copenhagen, Denmark.

277
00:19:11,697 --> 00:19:14,530
(wheels scraping)

278
00:19:20,584 --> 00:19:22,320
When I first told my
parents that I was going

279
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,050
to Jordan, Amman, they
was first a bit afraid,

280
00:19:26,050 --> 00:19:27,900
because it's here in the Middle East,

281
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:31,140
and so close to countries
where you have war,

282
00:19:31,140 --> 00:19:33,523
like Syria and Iraq.

283
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:36,060
But actually now I've
been here for so long,

284
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,510
and I find it very peaceful.

285
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:40,540
The people are so kind here in Amman.

286
00:19:40,540 --> 00:19:42,840
And I already make a lot of good friends

287
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,243
with some of the locals.

288
00:19:46,176 --> 00:19:47,036
It really turned my mind.

289
00:19:47,036 --> 00:19:49,430
I thought it was gonna be different.

290
00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:51,820
It turned out really positive, I think.

291
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:53,730
And now I've been here for one month,

292
00:19:53,730 --> 00:19:56,550
and I think it's been the most exciting

293
00:19:56,550 --> 00:19:58,333
experience of my life.

294
00:19:59,524 --> 00:20:03,441
(light ethereal strings music)

295
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,640
- The reason we are
here is because Mohammad

296
00:20:14,190 --> 00:20:16,780
is like the founder of
Philadelphia Skateboards.

297
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:19,630
And also, the reason why
we have this park here,

298
00:20:19,630 --> 00:20:22,190
because he is like the go-to guy here.

299
00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:23,340
He's the godfather of

300
00:20:24,610 --> 00:20:27,633
Amman skateboarding, or
let's even say Middle East.

301
00:20:28,570 --> 00:20:29,850
Maybe that's a little much,

302
00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:31,210
but he has like connection to all

303
00:20:31,210 --> 00:20:32,960
over Middle East for skateboarding.

304
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:35,880
He's basically responsible
that skateboarding

305
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,890
is still a thing in Jordan or in Amman.

306
00:20:38,890 --> 00:20:43,203
And he tries to maintain
the session like big time.

307
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:49,195
(light ethereal strings music)

308
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:55,210
- I mean for me the
reason I wanted to build

309
00:20:55,210 --> 00:20:58,893
the 7 Hills Skate Park was
more of a selfish reason.

310
00:21:00,399 --> 00:21:03,250
'Cause I always wanted a skate
board for myself to skate.

311
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:05,360
But at the same time
I didn't want it to be

312
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,220
for me only, I could have
built a private skate park

313
00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:11,280
and charged money for people to come in.

314
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,263
But I wanted to share this.

315
00:21:14,110 --> 00:21:17,260
If you're happy in a group of sad people,

316
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:18,830
what is that worth?

317
00:21:18,830 --> 00:21:20,450
What is that joy worth?

318
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:25,450
So I think joy is
magnified and multiplied.

319
00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:28,560
So it's something that I always wanted

320
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,640
is to share this joy of skateboarding

321
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,810
and kind of like push it forward.

322
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,630
I was given a gift of skateboarding.

323
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:38,480
This is something that I wanted
to pass on to other kids.

324
00:21:40,170 --> 00:21:43,080
I built 7 Hills because I wanted to share

325
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,091
the joy of skateboarding.

326
00:21:45,091 --> 00:21:50,091
(light, ethereal plucked
strings and piano music)

327
00:22:03,976 --> 00:22:06,893
You really see it, if you give kids

328
00:22:08,130 --> 00:22:10,853
love, love is what you're gonna get back.

329
00:22:12,197 --> 00:22:17,197
(light, ethereal plucked
strings and piano music)

330
00:22:29,540 --> 00:22:30,810
With any partners that we work with

331
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:32,530
we always make sure to tell them that

332
00:22:32,530 --> 00:22:35,360
we want 50% boys, 50% girls.

333
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,670
And I think that's important
because what we're trying

334
00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:40,470
to do is break the gender barrier.

335
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:42,700
I think it's important
that the boys interact

336
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,790
with the girls, and the
girls interact with the boys

337
00:22:44,790 --> 00:22:46,143
in a public space.

338
00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:50,010
They both feel respected
because a lot of the girls

339
00:22:50,010 --> 00:22:53,270
they have a lot of problems
being in public spaces

340
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:54,103
most of the time.

341
00:22:54,103 --> 00:22:56,363
Because there's a lot of harassment.

342
00:22:59,030 --> 00:23:01,430
But it's very important
to us that the boys

343
00:23:01,430 --> 00:23:04,073
learn to respect the
girls in a public space.

344
00:23:05,195 --> 00:23:08,383
And the girls understand
that they have the right

345
00:23:08,383 --> 00:23:11,440
to the space like the boys do.

346
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,100
And that they are both equally responsible

347
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:15,250
for the space, as well.

348
00:23:18,494 --> 00:23:20,960
- My name is Rand from Jordan, I'm 16.

349
00:23:28,458 --> 00:23:32,541
(Rand speaking foreign language)

350
00:23:46,431 --> 00:23:50,931
(light flowing plucked strings music)

351
00:24:01,493 --> 00:24:05,576
(Rand speaking foreign language)

352
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:40,560
- They never interacted with women.

353
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,603
And so that was something
that's super foreign for them.

354
00:24:42,603 --> 00:24:46,253
It's like, whoa, whoa women,
I don't understand girls.

355
00:24:50,660 --> 00:24:51,963
It's like something that's alien for them.

356
00:24:51,963 --> 00:24:56,791
It's like, oh so we have
maybe I want to cat call them,

357
00:24:56,791 --> 00:24:57,993
be rough or like.

358
00:24:59,470 --> 00:25:01,650
But then you see it like the kids start

359
00:25:01,650 --> 00:25:03,571
to interact with the
girls, and they understand

360
00:25:03,571 --> 00:25:05,000
at the end of the day it's like,

361
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,983
oh they're just people like us, you know.

362
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:12,800
- [Narrator] Somalia continued
to spiral out of control.

363
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,460
In particular, an
offshoot of the failed ICU

364
00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:18,780
began gaining power and committing
terror acts country wide.

365
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:21,700
The group called Al-Shabaab
has claimed responsibility

366
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:25,640
for multiple bombings,
particularly since 2012.

367
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,590
This Al-Qaeda align Jihadist group,

368
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:29,810
named after the Arabic word for youth,

369
00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:32,180
has specifically targeted
government institutions

370
00:25:32,180 --> 00:25:33,610
and non-Muslims.

371
00:25:33,610 --> 00:25:35,730
In short, Somalia has
seen a massive increase

372
00:25:35,730 --> 00:25:37,080
in terror groups involvement

373
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,860
since the start of its civil war.

374
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:41,000
Al-Shabaab represents
only a small fraction

375
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,327
of the damage the country has undergone.

376
00:25:43,327 --> 00:25:46,680
(children speaking in foreign language)

377
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,097
(Ramla speaking in foreign language)

378
00:26:13,950 --> 00:26:17,440
- I can go on and on about the
philosophy of skateboarding

379
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,333
and how it's,

380
00:26:19,932 --> 00:26:21,500
how it effects your
character, and how it builds

381
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,400
your character and how it teaches you,

382
00:26:24,695 --> 00:26:27,500
you know, success is
really made up of like

383
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,163
a bunch of small failures.

384
00:26:30,634 --> 00:26:33,820
You fail once, you adjust your mindset

385
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,110
and the way you're doing a trick,

386
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:36,890
and then you're like, "Okay
let me try it this way."

387
00:26:36,890 --> 00:26:38,910
Then you try it, it doesn't work again,

388
00:26:38,910 --> 00:26:41,060
and you're like, "Okay, okay,
let me try it this way."

389
00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:43,080
So you make small
adjustments, small adjustments

390
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,473
until you get to a formula that works.

391
00:26:46,610 --> 00:26:49,260
Even if you land it,
even if you land a trick,

392
00:26:49,260 --> 00:26:51,610
it doesn't mean you're
gonna do it every try now.

393
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:53,770
It's still a constant struggle.

394
00:26:53,770 --> 00:26:55,980
And so that teaches
you about life, really.

395
00:26:57,130 --> 00:27:01,010
Anything you can try is gonna be,

396
00:27:01,010 --> 00:27:03,339
you're most likely to fail at first.

397
00:27:03,339 --> 00:27:05,041
But that shouldn't stop you.

398
00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:07,203
You look at your failures,
you learn from it.

399
00:27:07,203 --> 00:27:09,278
I think failure is the best teacher.

400
00:27:09,278 --> 00:27:12,528
(twanging fuzzy music)

401
00:27:15,753 --> 00:27:20,753
(moves to upbeat bass
and percussion music)

402
00:27:31,380 --> 00:27:36,213
(Abdul-Hakiem speaks in foreign language)

403
00:27:37,301 --> 00:27:40,134
(wheels scraping)

404
00:27:44,131 --> 00:27:48,714
(Abdul-Hakiem speaks foreign language)

405
00:27:51,275 --> 00:27:56,275
(upbeat culture rich
instrument bass music)

406
00:27:57,565 --> 00:28:01,648
(Hakiem speaks foreign language)

407
00:28:14,681 --> 00:28:19,681
(upbeat culture rich instrument
bass and cello music)

408
00:28:21,527 --> 00:28:25,610
(Hakiem speaks foreign language)

409
00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:35,183
(wheels scraping)

410
00:28:36,679 --> 00:28:40,277
(upbeat culture rich instrument
bass and cello music)

411
00:28:40,277 --> 00:28:44,360
(Hakiem speaks foreign language)

412
00:28:51,150 --> 00:28:56,150
(upbeat culture rich instrument
bass and cello music)

413
00:28:58,749 --> 00:29:02,832
(Hakiem speaks foreign language)

414
00:29:06,030 --> 00:29:07,190
- It wasn't until

415
00:29:08,090 --> 00:29:10,280
maybe within the first year of me skating

416
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,820
that I got to go to a skate park.

417
00:29:12,820 --> 00:29:14,860
And that's when I saw the possibilities.

418
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:16,980
That's literally when I saw people flying

419
00:29:16,980 --> 00:29:18,520
out of swimming pools.

420
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,760
And that's when I devoted myself to it.

421
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,310
In the early days I didn't have

422
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:26,960
a hero, or an inspiration.

423
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,000
But as I got into it, I found them,

424
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,953
based on my style of skating,
and based on my interests.

425
00:29:34,286 --> 00:29:37,060
I mean for sure it was Eddie Elguera

426
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:40,110
who I thought was the most
innovative skater at the time.

427
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:42,500
The guy who was concentrating
on doing tricks.

428
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,650
And, that's what I wanted to do was

429
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:46,173
I wanted to do tricks.

430
00:29:47,030 --> 00:29:49,200
Well skating felt very free to me.

431
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,420
Skating felt like this blank canvas

432
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:55,230
and something I could on my
own terms in my own style.

433
00:29:55,230 --> 00:29:57,330
So immediately I was drawn
to it because of that.

434
00:29:57,330 --> 00:29:59,740
But also because of the
daredevil aspects of it.

435
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:02,780
And so any time I reached
any sort of milestone

436
00:30:02,780 --> 00:30:05,020
on my skating was a big deal.

437
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,730
And I'm talking about very simple things.

438
00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:09,350
I remember the first time I was able

439
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:11,980
to ride up a curb by myself.

440
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:13,480
Before the Ollie was created,

441
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,940
I'm talking about like just literally

442
00:30:15,940 --> 00:30:18,803
manually rocking the board
up and forcing it up.

443
00:30:18,803 --> 00:30:19,720
And that was a big deal to me,

444
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,800
'cause that changed the
landscape all of a sudden.

445
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,910
I could leave the street
and go on the sidewalk

446
00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:26,843
without getting off my board.

447
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:31,590
And then fast forward to
when I found pool skating,

448
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:33,640
I very much remember the
first time I ever got

449
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,740
to the top of the pool,

450
00:30:34,740 --> 00:30:37,410
and got my board out above the pool.

451
00:30:37,410 --> 00:30:38,983
And I did a real aerial.

452
00:30:41,910 --> 00:30:44,020
Those things, they're really gratifying.

453
00:30:44,020 --> 00:30:45,640
Not just because they're a milestone,

454
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000
but because a lot of times it's the goal

455
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,900
you put on yourself.

456
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:52,030
So it's all about your self motivation,

457
00:30:52,030 --> 00:30:54,380
your self confidence.

458
00:30:54,380 --> 00:30:56,750
And building that up,
and maybe nothing else

459
00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:58,160
provided that for you.

460
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,490
Nothing else provided
that for me in my life.

461
00:31:00,490 --> 00:31:03,330
That I felt like, oh I
created this challenge

462
00:31:03,330 --> 00:31:05,021
and I overcame it.

463
00:31:05,021 --> 00:31:07,521
(light music)

464
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,580
Skating, it doesn't
matter how far you get,

465
00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:14,420
you can always do better.

466
00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:15,540
And that's what I've loved about it,

467
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:17,090
you can continue to challenge yourself.

468
00:31:17,090 --> 00:31:19,640
You're never going to master
everything in skating.

469
00:31:22,929 --> 00:31:24,410
Well the environment of the skate park,

470
00:31:24,410 --> 00:31:27,280
first and foremost, is a
place to hone your skills,

471
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,140
a place to develop your techniques.

472
00:31:30,140 --> 00:31:32,740
But, I think more
importantly and more deeply,

473
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:36,710
it's a place to find a
community and to share ideas.

474
00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:39,160
And, a home away from home.

475
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,310
I spent every waking
hour at the skate park

476
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:44,980
when I wasn't in school, that was it.

477
00:31:44,980 --> 00:31:49,480
I went straight from school
to the park until it closed,

478
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,380
and then when my parents picked me up.

479
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:55,500
I found my tribe there.

480
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,550
I found a bunch of people that
thought along the same lines,

481
00:31:59,550 --> 00:32:02,590
had very creative aspects,

482
00:32:02,590 --> 00:32:05,730
were willing to push the
boundaries of all kinds of,

483
00:32:05,730 --> 00:32:10,730
including skating, but
also in terms of rules,

484
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:15,150
in terms of music, in terms of fashion.

485
00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:18,720
It was all like this very creative

486
00:32:19,770 --> 00:32:24,123
group of misfits, that's
my best explanation of it.

487
00:32:25,150 --> 00:32:27,460
The common bond was skating.

488
00:32:27,460 --> 00:32:29,750
But beyond skating there
was a deeper connection,

489
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:31,720
because I identify with these people,

490
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,800
that we love something
completely different.

491
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,490
And we made that our identity.

492
00:32:37,490 --> 00:32:41,523
And we embraced it, and
we support each other.

493
00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:46,003
- You have music that's
related to the culture.

494
00:32:47,335 --> 00:32:50,190
You have the street culture.

495
00:32:50,190 --> 00:32:53,770
I remember when like in culture street

496
00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:56,643
where skateboarding happened in Jordan.

497
00:32:57,740 --> 00:32:59,650
I remember there was a
time when there would be

498
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:01,970
break dancers, there'd
be the beat boxers there,

499
00:33:01,970 --> 00:33:04,790
the graffiti guys and the hip hop guys.

500
00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:07,803
That was also the perfect
name for a street culture.

501
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,533
Graffiti artists are like
skateboarders in a way.

502
00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:15,787
You people see a wall, they see a canvas.

503
00:33:15,787 --> 00:33:20,787
(upbeat plucking acoustic
strings and beat music)

504
00:33:41,570 --> 00:33:44,910
- My name is Ghaith
Abudayyen, I'm 16 years old,

505
00:33:44,910 --> 00:33:46,612
I'm from Jordan.

506
00:33:46,612 --> 00:33:51,612
(upbeat plucking acoustic
strings and beat music)

507
00:33:52,744 --> 00:33:55,270
(wheels scraping)

508
00:33:55,270 --> 00:33:58,840
I used to watch movies and see skaters

509
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,080
and how they are having fun.

510
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Then I met my friend
Akem he's my classmate.

511
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,745
So he told me about 7 Hills.

512
00:34:07,745 --> 00:34:10,203
And I just went there and start skating.

513
00:34:11,094 --> 00:34:13,060
It's a really cool place.

514
00:34:13,060 --> 00:34:14,723
It's full of positive energy,

515
00:34:15,790 --> 00:34:19,488
and yeah it's my favorite
place on Planet Earth,

516
00:34:19,488 --> 00:34:20,905
I really like it.

517
00:34:23,587 --> 00:34:26,620
There are a lot of street artists,

518
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:30,010
and graffiti artists in Jordan.

519
00:34:30,010 --> 00:34:35,006
I want the art here in
Jordan to get better.

520
00:34:35,006 --> 00:34:38,839
(light plucked strings music)

521
00:34:45,045 --> 00:34:49,640
(moves to upbeat synthesizer music)

522
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,190
I'm trying to like make my own style.

523
00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:56,720
Now I'm practicing to get my own style.

524
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,833
And I do like graffiti lettering.

525
00:34:59,670 --> 00:35:04,670
So trying to make a style for me.

526
00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:06,083
I really like Wize One.

527
00:35:07,510 --> 00:35:09,640
He teach me a lot of things.

528
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,500
And he really helped me when I started.

529
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:14,633
He'd been doing graffiti for a long time.

530
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:20,383
He's the godfather of street art.

531
00:35:22,043 --> 00:35:27,043
(upbeat plucking acoustic
strings and beat music)

532
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:40,647
- Hello, my name is Wesam
Shadid, AKA Wize One.

533
00:35:41,633 --> 00:35:43,220
I'm a full time graffiti artist.

534
00:35:43,220 --> 00:35:47,937
And I've been doing that
for almost 15 years.

535
00:35:47,937 --> 00:35:52,187
(light beat and synthesizer music)

536
00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:02,290
Whenever you go to skate park

537
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:03,980
you'll find that it's full of graffiti,

538
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:06,850
it's like a sports for graffiti.

539
00:36:06,850 --> 00:36:10,770
So skate park it means always graffiti.

540
00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:14,400
Skating is related to graffiti in somehow.

541
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,583
You find the graffiti designs
and art on the skateboard.

542
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,200
You find graffiti artists
painting and drawing skateboards,

543
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,710
and people skating, and
jumping and all that stuff.

544
00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:27,690
And fashion, and everything,
they're all related.

545
00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:28,943
Full circle together.

546
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:34,143
I draw women, I love to draw women.

547
00:36:35,162 --> 00:36:37,112
It's something really powerful to draw.

548
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,490
It represents

549
00:36:41,140 --> 00:36:44,340
community, society,
everything in our life.

550
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:47,283
Woman is, it's all about everything.

551
00:36:47,283 --> 00:36:49,866
(upbeat music)

552
00:36:58,927 --> 00:37:00,600
You can use art as a tool,

553
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,530
and sometimes you express yourself.

554
00:37:03,530 --> 00:37:08,110
Art is a sender and a receiver.

555
00:37:08,110 --> 00:37:09,660
You send a message through art.

556
00:37:11,307 --> 00:37:14,023
And people they receive that
message through your art

557
00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:17,910
when they pass by your
artwork in the cities.

558
00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:21,275
So it could be a powerful
tool to express yourself,

559
00:37:21,275 --> 00:37:25,703
and send messages to
people, good messages.

560
00:37:26,623 --> 00:37:30,956
(woman singing in foreign language)

561
00:37:37,292 --> 00:37:39,810
(upbeat music)

562
00:37:39,810 --> 00:37:43,543
- My name is Joanna Arida,
and I am from Jordan.

563
00:37:44,890 --> 00:37:48,440
Personally for me, I've never
really felt the difference

564
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,100
between a male artist doing mural,

565
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:53,900
and me as a female artist doing mine.

566
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:57,443
I just felt that we're
just two artists painting.

567
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:03,010
If you go to a village here
that is very traditional,

568
00:38:03,010 --> 00:38:07,020
they go back to, I think
if you go to anywhere

569
00:38:07,020 --> 00:38:10,890
that is very like goes back
to its roots and tradition,

570
00:38:10,890 --> 00:38:13,890
they're very focused on this idea of

571
00:38:13,890 --> 00:38:17,260
I am man, and you are a woman.

572
00:38:17,260 --> 00:38:19,300
And just when they say
that you are a woman,

573
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:21,956
it feels like, did you just insult me?

574
00:38:21,956 --> 00:38:22,790
I mean what do you mean?

575
00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:24,690
It goes with the same
thing, all of a sudden,

576
00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:27,940
one day people they did
this whole campaign thing,

577
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:32,420
on when you tell someone
that you run like a girl.

578
00:38:32,420 --> 00:38:34,400
Why is that an insult?

579
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,100
Why is running like a girl depicted

580
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,490
as something that's weak?

581
00:38:38,490 --> 00:38:41,070
So I think that, you
know it's something that

582
00:38:41,070 --> 00:38:44,320
is embedded in most people's minds,

583
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,560
and it's just really sad
that we just associate

584
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,240
women with something that's being weak,

585
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:50,803
while we're really not.

586
00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:56,620
I was born in a family
that believed in hard work.

587
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:59,660
And that believes that if
you're passionate enough

588
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:02,560
to do something, nothing should stop you.

589
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,010
If you believe in this
you go out and you get it.

590
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:10,830
I don't really think of
it as oh look I'm a woman,

591
00:39:10,830 --> 00:39:11,663
I'm doing this.

592
00:39:11,663 --> 00:39:14,970
I just think about it as me, Joanna,

593
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:18,720
doing something and I have this
mural that I need to finish.

594
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:21,160
And I want to prove it to myself.

595
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,410
I want to do this mural and I want to take

596
00:39:24,410 --> 00:39:26,070
a step back and look at it and be like,

597
00:39:26,070 --> 00:39:29,850
hey I did that, that's
pretty cool, you know.

598
00:39:29,850 --> 00:39:34,850
So it's kind of like me as
me, not me as the female part.

599
00:39:36,623 --> 00:39:39,123
(light music)

600
00:39:43,485 --> 00:39:46,485
(people chattering)

601
00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:50,260
- [Reporter] Investigators in Yemen

602
00:39:50,260 --> 00:39:52,080
are looking into how an airstrike

603
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,650
in the northern part of the country

604
00:39:53,650 --> 00:39:56,240
ended up hitting a school bus,

605
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:59,443
killing 40 children, and injuring 56 more.

606
00:40:00,430 --> 00:40:02,500
It's one of the most horrifying episodes

607
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,540
in a grueling war that's already taken

608
00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:06,773
more than 10,000 civilian lives.

609
00:40:07,645 --> 00:40:10,646
(baby crying)

610
00:40:10,646 --> 00:40:13,896
(light ethereal music)

611
00:40:22,374 --> 00:40:26,874
(Sadiya speaking in foreign language)

612
00:40:45,754 --> 00:40:50,754
(upbeat beats and ethereal
synthesizer music)

613
00:41:01,983 --> 00:41:06,233
(Sadiya speaking foreign language)

614
00:41:15,759 --> 00:41:20,759
(upbeat beats and ethereal
synthesizer music)

615
00:41:26,345 --> 00:41:28,250
- Think about it, when you're living,

616
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:30,920
when you're sitting at your
home and just chilling.

617
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,880
And then someday, just
like that, you lose it all.

618
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,540
And then you try to
escape to another country,

619
00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:41,423
and all they do is just shut
their doors and they say no.

620
00:41:43,230 --> 00:41:46,273
What would that do to that
person who lost everything?

621
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:57,250
When there's a child, a
child who has lost his home,

622
00:41:57,250 --> 00:41:59,440
and at that young age he loses his home,

623
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,910
he loses his own country.

624
00:42:00,910 --> 00:42:03,740
And then he comes to
this stranger country,

625
00:42:03,740 --> 00:42:05,280
and it takes them in.

626
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,457
And then at some point someone
says, "Hey let's go skate.

627
00:42:09,457 --> 00:42:11,730
"Hey, let's go do art."

628
00:42:11,730 --> 00:42:13,920
I think that that's just
something that really

629
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,663
touches you spiritually and is like hey,

630
00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:19,310
you can be okay.

631
00:42:19,310 --> 00:42:22,270
Maybe it's not at home,
maybe you will be at home,

632
00:42:22,270 --> 00:42:24,190
maybe this is home.

633
00:42:24,190 --> 00:42:26,100
But, at some point you are gonna look up

634
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:28,196
and be like, it's okay.

635
00:42:28,196 --> 00:42:31,380
(light music)

636
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:33,990
- I can't say that I have

637
00:42:33,990 --> 00:42:36,910
a deep knowledge of the refugee crisis.

638
00:42:36,910 --> 00:42:39,340
But I can tell that it
is something that is

639
00:42:40,210 --> 00:42:42,670
bigger than ever, more
overwhelming that ever.

640
00:42:42,670 --> 00:42:46,610
And people are willing
to sacrifice themselves,

641
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:50,290
and their families to escape
some of the worst conditions.

642
00:42:50,290 --> 00:42:54,270
And so, it's obvious
that people need help.

643
00:42:54,270 --> 00:42:56,033
And they need somewhere to go.

644
00:42:57,550 --> 00:42:59,600
Thankfully there are a few countries that

645
00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:03,440
will provide them some sort of assistance.

646
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:09,940
I love that skateboarding
has been included

647
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:11,360
in that process.

648
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,800
I think the easy way out for,

649
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,420
especially people from
America who have no experience

650
00:43:17,420 --> 00:43:21,670
with the kind of strife that
others are having to endure,

651
00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:24,930
based on basically where they were born.

652
00:43:24,930 --> 00:43:29,030
Is that, oh it's just you
know, they're a problem,

653
00:43:29,030 --> 00:43:31,158
and it's not my problem.

654
00:43:31,158 --> 00:43:33,700
But to have true empathy for the people

655
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:38,700
who are going through these
hardships is to at least

656
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,170
recognize that they're
just people that were born

657
00:43:44,170 --> 00:43:45,640
into a bad situation.

658
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,750
And they're trying to
escape for the betterment

659
00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:50,280
of their family, or for their kids.

660
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,690
Or for themselves.

661
00:43:51,690 --> 00:43:54,983
They're not trying to
come and take your job.

662
00:43:55,820 --> 00:43:57,423
They're trying to come survive.

663
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:02,530
And that, I think that's the
shift that needs to happen

664
00:44:02,530 --> 00:44:06,410
in terms of the collective
mindset of people who

665
00:44:06,410 --> 00:44:10,543
just want to ignore those harder facts.

666
00:44:12,399 --> 00:44:13,600
That's the stuff that is

667
00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:19,150
is the most difficult to
make people understand.

668
00:44:19,150 --> 00:44:21,050
Is that it's just humanity,

669
00:44:21,050 --> 00:44:22,850
and it's just people trying to live.

670
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,360
They're not trying to infiltrate

671
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,310
with their religious beliefs.

672
00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:30,356
They're just trying to survive.

673
00:44:30,356 --> 00:44:33,856
(upbeat percussion music)

674
00:44:41,791 --> 00:44:46,791
(moves into percussion
and flowing cello music)

675
00:45:14,410 --> 00:45:16,400
- At the end of the day
really we're all the same,

676
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,340
we're just people, you know.

677
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:18,883
We want the same things.

678
00:45:21,241 --> 00:45:23,570
We want love, we want family, we want

679
00:45:24,580 --> 00:45:27,624
to be accepted, we want to be understood.

680
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:30,300
It's a very basic human
needs that we all want.

681
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:32,970
And it's similar everywhere, really.

682
00:45:32,970 --> 00:45:34,900
I don't like labels, I
think if you label something

683
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:36,780
you limit it, you build walls around it.

684
00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:39,113
And then that's set, this is what you are.

685
00:45:44,090 --> 00:45:46,440
This urge like have to define things,

686
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,070
because it's scary if
things are not defined.

687
00:45:49,070 --> 00:45:52,010
So this is why I don't
like to define things,

688
00:45:52,010 --> 00:45:54,700
or use words like refugee.

689
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:57,940
'Cause that's also like
that takes the power

690
00:45:57,940 --> 00:45:59,420
from people when you call them refugees.

691
00:45:59,420 --> 00:46:01,830
It's like you're
powerless, you're helpless.

692
00:46:01,830 --> 00:46:03,580
You're here, you don't have a home.

693
00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:07,250
You're here temporarily.

694
00:46:07,250 --> 00:46:08,500
You're supposed to go back home.

695
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:11,840
But if you say, you're people,

696
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,563
then that's a greater
understanding of people.

697
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:18,720
I don't see the kids that
come to the park as refugees,

698
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,720
I see them as just kids who are going

699
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,403
through rough circumstances.

700
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:28,823
And it's our duty as a
community to embrace them.

701
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,550
People reflect on themselves
being called refugees.

702
00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:36,470
They fall into this trap of like,

703
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:38,723
oh yeah I'm a refugee and powerless.

704
00:46:40,850 --> 00:46:42,733
I'm not in like home.

705
00:46:44,570 --> 00:46:48,270
And that goes back to the idea
of home, also, what is home?

706
00:46:48,270 --> 00:46:51,190
We're all people who are
living on this planet.

707
00:46:51,190 --> 00:46:52,770
And this planet is home.

708
00:46:52,770 --> 00:46:56,150
And the idea of fucking borders, man.

709
00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:58,140
That's like a man made concept.

710
00:46:58,140 --> 00:47:01,150
I'm trying to think of
the first person who

711
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,277
put borders around a
piece of land and said,

712
00:47:04,277 --> 00:47:06,700
"This is my land, I own this land."

713
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:09,670
Who was the first person to do that?

714
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:13,870
(light beats music)

715
00:47:15,953 --> 00:47:19,900
A group of people coming
together to form this jungle

716
00:47:19,900 --> 00:47:21,867
that we live in, and then
we create the systems.

717
00:47:21,867 --> 00:47:24,317
And I don't understand
where the hate comes from.

718
00:47:26,740 --> 00:47:27,660
Why do we hate

719
00:47:29,650 --> 00:47:33,393
refugees, or why do we hate
people of certain color?

720
00:47:35,220 --> 00:47:37,031
I don't understand it.

721
00:47:37,031 --> 00:47:38,470
I don't understand how that works.

722
00:47:38,470 --> 00:47:40,920
Why do you think you are better than them,

723
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,860
because you were going through,

724
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,740
you were given, that's your circumstances

725
00:47:45,740 --> 00:47:47,190
that they haven't been given.

726
00:47:48,654 --> 00:47:50,332
You were dealt a better hand.

727
00:47:50,332 --> 00:47:51,760
(rapid drum beats music)

728
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,350
- [Reporter] Fighting in South Sudan

729
00:47:53,350 --> 00:47:55,110
has spread outside the capital Juba,

730
00:47:55,110 --> 00:47:57,670
after a reported coup
attempt of the weekend.

731
00:47:57,670 --> 00:48:00,970
President Salva Kiir has accused
his former vice president

732
00:48:00,970 --> 00:48:02,340
of orchestrating the fighting.

733
00:48:02,340 --> 00:48:05,930
- [Salva] I promise you today
that justice will prevail.

734
00:48:07,550 --> 00:48:09,940
- [Reporter] A report released
by the UN in early May,

735
00:48:09,940 --> 00:48:11,740
is the first in depth examination

736
00:48:11,740 --> 00:48:13,680
of the violent, ethnic civil strife

737
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,670
that is tearing apart South Sudan.

738
00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:17,700
It states that thousands have been killed,

739
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:19,640
and more than one million South Sudanese

740
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,803
have been displaced.

741
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,440
6.9 million people in
the region are facing

742
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,073
the threat of mass starvation.

743
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,150
- They were living at home,
they were leading happy lives,

744
00:48:31,150 --> 00:48:32,533
and then wars happened.

745
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,460
They find themselves
in areas that are like,

746
00:48:37,460 --> 00:48:41,313
in place where they, I even move or I die.

747
00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:45,000
That was like the only option for them,

748
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,510
we need to think about it that way.

749
00:48:46,510 --> 00:48:48,760
If you were in their
position what would you do?

750
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,750
Will you stay in your place,

751
00:48:50,750 --> 00:48:53,170
or will you try to save
your family and your kids,

752
00:48:53,170 --> 00:48:55,183
and try to lead a better life?

753
00:48:56,192 --> 00:49:01,192
(upbeat percussion and
syncopated strings music)

754
00:49:05,446 --> 00:49:08,363
(children playing)

755
00:49:20,910 --> 00:49:23,050
So the Sudanese community unfortunately,

756
00:49:23,050 --> 00:49:26,073
they're not considered
as refugees in Jordan.

757
00:49:26,953 --> 00:49:28,980
And I say unfortunately,
because this means that they

758
00:49:28,980 --> 00:49:32,960
don't get any support
from international NGOs,

759
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,087
like the UN or the UNHCR, they don't get

760
00:49:36,087 --> 00:49:37,223
any support from them.

761
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:39,870
'Cause they don't have refugee status.

762
00:49:39,870 --> 00:49:41,070
But this also means that

763
00:49:42,180 --> 00:49:43,630
they don't have refugee status

764
00:49:43,630 --> 00:49:46,292
and they don't have citizenship status.

765
00:49:46,292 --> 00:49:48,680
They're kind of stuck
in this in between of

766
00:49:50,690 --> 00:49:52,470
we're not in Sudan,

767
00:49:52,470 --> 00:49:55,460
we're not refugees here, so
we don't get any support.

768
00:49:55,460 --> 00:49:57,880
We're not citizens here,
so we don't get to work,

769
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:58,893
or go to schools.

770
00:50:00,004 --> 00:50:03,190
The story is that there was a big number

771
00:50:03,190 --> 00:50:04,823
of Sudanese refugees in Jordan.

772
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:10,270
And I think in 2014 they were protesting

773
00:50:10,270 --> 00:50:12,623
the way they were being
treated by the government.

774
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:16,600
- The deportations
followed months of protests

775
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,290
by some of the 3,500
Sudanese refugees in Jordan.

776
00:50:21,290 --> 00:50:25,780
They set up a protest camp
outside the UN Refugee Agency,

777
00:50:25,780 --> 00:50:29,153
to demand more aid, and
resettlement to other countries.

778
00:50:30,110 --> 00:50:32,530
The refugees say Jordanian security forces

779
00:50:32,530 --> 00:50:34,660
put them on buses, telling them they were

780
00:50:34,660 --> 00:50:36,300
going to be resettled.

781
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:39,210
Instead, they took them to the airport.

782
00:50:39,210 --> 00:50:42,870
- And os the government was
like, okay you don't like it,

783
00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:44,010
go back to Sudan.

784
00:50:44,010 --> 00:50:45,090
And this is what they did, actually.

785
00:50:45,090 --> 00:50:47,720
They got all the Sudanese
refugees together,

786
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:49,701
shipped them up and then, you know,

787
00:50:49,701 --> 00:50:52,740
got them to the airport and
shipped them back to Sudan.

788
00:50:52,740 --> 00:50:54,433
Which is very shameful for me.

789
00:50:55,690 --> 00:50:57,340
It's a very shameful act, really.

790
00:50:59,848 --> 00:51:03,733
(Ehab speaks foreign language)

791
00:51:03,733 --> 00:51:05,715
(ethereal music)

792
00:51:05,715 --> 00:51:08,203
(Ehab speaks foreign language)

793

(Ehab speaks foreign language)

797
00:51:34,497 --> 00:51:39,330
(flowing ethereal acoustic strings music)

798
00:51:45,672 --> 00:51:49,589
(Ehab speaks foreign language)

799
00:52:05,890 --> 00:52:10,640
(ethereal and low flowing strings music)

800
00:52:16,065 --> 00:52:19,982
(Ehab speaks foreign language)

801
00:52:39,950 --> 00:52:40,943
- Resistance.

802
00:52:42,312 --> 00:52:47,145
(flowing ethereal acoustic strings music)

803
00:52:55,097 --> 00:52:59,014
(Ehab speaks foreign language)

00:53:06,224 --> 00:53:11,224
(Ehab's mother speaking foreign language)

(Ehab's mother speaking foreign language)

(flowing ethereal acoustic strings music)

808
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,283
(wheels scraping)

809
00:53:33,283 --> 00:53:37,366
(Ehab speaking foreign language)

810
00:53:48,907 --> 00:53:53,740
(flowing ethereal acoustic strings music)

811
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,033
- I found out that we're
really racist people.

812
00:54:11,419 --> 00:54:14,640
Which is quite a shock for
me, because it's so embedded

813
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,580
in our culture, it's
like interwoven with like

814
00:54:18,580 --> 00:54:21,180
the way we think that
we don't even notice it,

815
00:54:21,180 --> 00:54:22,453
how racist we are.

816
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:26,143
I remember,

817
00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:29,560
when the Sudanis started
coming to the park,

818
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,113
like a lot of kids didn't
want to deal with the Sudanis,

819
00:54:32,113 --> 00:54:35,947
because oh they're black, I
don't want to be with them.

820
00:54:37,740 --> 00:54:40,713
But like you can't take on
kids for something like that.

821
00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:45,080
It's so embedded, this is the
way they were being taught.

822
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:49,300
This is the way they were being raised.

823
00:54:49,300 --> 00:54:52,020
And like I said it's just, it's not hate,

824
00:54:52,020 --> 00:54:53,263
it's just ignorance.

825
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,733
We don't understand you, so we're afraid.

826
00:54:58,660 --> 00:55:01,420
Seeing the way that perspective flipped,

827
00:55:01,420 --> 00:55:06,289
is really something I'm proud of.

828
00:55:06,289 --> 00:55:11,039
(light flowing orchestral strings music)

829
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:31,600
We have at times

830
00:55:33,750 --> 00:55:38,044
in their group to be community leaders.

831
00:55:38,044 --> 00:55:42,010
(light flowing music)

832
00:55:42,010 --> 00:55:44,360
I was having a discussion
with a friend of mine

833
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,033
the other day.

834
00:55:46,870 --> 00:55:49,500
I think, I thought it
was important to empower

835
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:52,397
the people and she said, 'You
know if you're empowering

836
00:55:52,397 --> 00:55:53,837
"the people it means that you're assuming

837
00:55:53,837 --> 00:55:54,917
"that they have no power.

838
00:55:54,917 --> 00:55:57,430
"When in reality they have all the power."

839
00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:58,910
And I thought that's interesting,

840
00:55:58,910 --> 00:56:00,410
that's an interesting
perspective on things.

841
00:56:00,410 --> 00:56:03,870
And it's reminding the kids
of the power they have,

842
00:56:03,870 --> 00:56:04,993
and giving them,

843
00:56:06,810 --> 00:56:08,963
you know it doesn't matter
where you come from.

844
00:56:10,156 --> 00:56:13,156
(people chattering)

845
00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:16,993
- My name is Waa, I'm from Sudan.

846
00:56:21,024 --> 00:56:23,687
I want to stay in Jordan and go to USA

847
00:56:25,270 --> 00:56:28,880
and play skateboard over there.

848
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,130
'Cause this skateboard I like so much

849
00:56:32,130 --> 00:56:34,838
from my heart. (laughs)

850
00:56:34,838 --> 00:56:39,505
(ethereal spiritual music and chanting)

851
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,863
(skateboarders chattering)

852
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,880
- [Narrator] Syria's war is a mess.

853
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,910
The first shots in the war
were fired in March 2011

854
00:56:52,910 --> 00:56:54,860
by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad

855
00:56:54,860 --> 00:56:57,183
against peaceful Arab
Spring demonstrators.

856
00:56:57,183 --> 00:57:00,516
(rapid gunfire popping)

857
00:57:02,130 --> 00:57:04,400
In July, the protestors
started shooting back.

858
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,530
And some Syrian troops even defect from

859
00:57:06,530 --> 00:57:08,000
the Syrian Army to join them.

860
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,420
They call themselves the Free Syrian Army,

861
00:57:10,420 --> 00:57:12,560
and the uprising becomes a civil war.

862
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,030
- It is in the national security interest

863
00:57:15,030 --> 00:57:18,630
of the United States to
respond to the Assad regime's

864
00:57:18,630 --> 00:57:22,270
use of chemical weapons to
a targeted military strike.

865
00:57:22,270 --> 00:57:23,630
- [Reporter] Russia proposed on Monday

866
00:57:23,630 --> 00:57:27,290
that Syria surrender control
over its chemical weapons

867
00:57:27,290 --> 00:57:29,430
to the international
community for its eventual

868
00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:32,039
dismantling to avoid a US military strike.

869
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:37,039
(flowing acoustic guitar
and mandolin music)

870
00:58:13,827 --> 00:58:17,994
(moves to flowing ethereal music)

871
00:58:19,910 --> 00:58:20,970
- The Gaza Camp is in Jerash,

872
00:58:20,970 --> 00:58:22,773
which is a city north of Amman.

873
00:58:23,930 --> 00:58:26,603
And they come to the park every Saturday.

874
00:58:28,370 --> 00:58:31,787
(flowing ethereal music)

875
00:58:34,450 --> 00:58:38,170
These refugee camps started
as a temporary solution,

876
00:58:38,170 --> 00:58:40,457

- [Reporter] 14,000
Palestinians gathered on

burning tires and throwing rocks,

888
00:59:38,910 --> 00:59:40,940
fire bombs and grenades at soldiers.

889
00:59:40,940 --> 00:59:42,596
That's according to the Israeli military.

890
00:59:42,596 --> 00:59:45,346
(people yelling)

891
00:59:49,485 --> 00:59:52,134

and complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States.

(flowing synthesizer music)

918
01:04:58,410 --> 01:05:00,905
They want to change your
religion, I don't think so,

919
01:05:00,905 --> 01:05:02,001
I don't think so.

920
01:05:02,001 --> 01:05:03,310
(crowds murmuring)
I don't think so,

921
01:05:03,310 --> 01:05:04,620
not gonna happen.

922
01:05:04,620 --> 01:05:06,240
It's gonna get worse and worse.

923
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,160
You're gonna have more
World Trade Centers,

924
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,060
it's gonna get worse and worse, folks.

925
01:05:11,986 --> 01:05:16,986
(flowing synthesizer
and light piano music)

926
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,150
- So the word Muslim in Islam,

927
01:05:25,150 --> 01:05:27,283
the word Muslim in the Arabic language,

928
01:05:28,220 --> 01:05:32,320
the actual word it means that
you submit yourself to God.

929
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,340
And by submitting yourself to God,

930
01:05:35,340 --> 01:05:40,340
you agree to be peaceful to
all his creation, and be,

931
01:05:42,790 --> 01:05:44,320
to be one, actually.

932
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,270
In Islam it says that
the reason we are here

933
01:05:48,270 --> 01:05:50,790
is to build the earth and to make it

934
01:05:51,716 --> 01:05:55,710
a habitable place for creation.

935
01:05:55,710 --> 01:05:58,410
For animals, for plants, like...

936
01:06:02,030 --> 01:06:06,393
I'm a very spiritual person,
I'm a Muslim as well.

937
01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:11,790
I think Islam is a very
interesting religion.

938
01:06:11,790 --> 01:06:13,940
And the Quran is a
really interesting book.

939
01:06:15,657 --> 01:06:17,400
And of course you have like crazy people.

940
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,090
There's crazy Americans,
there's crazy Chinese,

941
01:06:20,090 --> 01:06:22,953
there's crazy Arabs,
there's crazy Russians.

942
01:06:24,299 --> 01:06:26,199
There's all sorts of crazy everywhere.

943
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,330
But focusing on that 1% that is crazy,

944
01:06:31,330 --> 01:06:33,170
this is where the
problem is being created.

945
01:06:33,170 --> 01:06:35,773
This is where generalization
is being made.

946
01:06:38,650 --> 01:06:41,860
If you only think of people,
of Arabs, for example,

947
01:06:41,860 --> 01:06:44,130
or Muslims, and the only
images that come to mind

948
01:06:44,130 --> 01:06:46,020
is protest and

949
01:06:47,620 --> 01:06:50,230
that image is in the media,

950
01:06:50,230 --> 01:06:53,248
of course this is what
you're gonna think about.

951
01:06:53,248 --> 01:06:55,243
I do blame the Americans for their,

952
01:06:57,690 --> 01:07:02,033
it's not hate, it is ignorance
that developed into hate.

953
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,680
But at the end of the day
it's really ignorance.

954
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:10,720
You don't know something
and then you assume that

955
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,830
what you see is the truth,
then you have a problem.

956
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:17,070
If you don't research, if
you don't take the time

957
01:07:17,070 --> 01:07:19,840
to get to know the
different side of things,

958
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,190
then you have a problem.

959
01:07:21,190 --> 01:07:26,190
And I think this is the
problem with Americans is that,

960
01:07:27,630 --> 01:07:31,940
they have created this
lifestyle where you go to work

961
01:07:31,940 --> 01:07:33,080
and you chase the money,

962
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:37,400
and you chase the certain
lifestyle the American dream,

963
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,386
and then you don't have
time for anything else.

964
01:07:40,386 --> 01:07:44,136
(ethereal and flowing music)

965
01:07:53,410 --> 01:07:56,440
I think that skateboarding is
creating this understanding

966
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,937
of humanity really, I don't know, maybe.
