DON’T GIVE A FOX

Denmark, Germany 2019 | 87 Minutes | A film by Kaspar Astrup Schröder

A documentary about a girls skate crew from Copenhagen who enjoy their life together – with all the ups and downs.

  • SYNOPSIS

    Female skateboarding is a growing trend across the globe. In the outskirts of Copenhagen, the girl skate crew Don’t Give A Fox is skating their way through life. The crew is a diverse group of girls that all have a passion for life, parties and skateboarding.

    They party hard and enjoy hanging out with each other as an escape from the everyday challenges they face. But when Sofie breaks her foot and is not able to skate for many months, she arranges to go on a road trip across the country to learn more about the dreams and histories of the girls.

    Much is at stake, and the journey poses a challenge of finding out where they come from and who it is they really want to become.
