In the late ’80s and early ’90s, the streets of downtown Manhattan were the site of a collision between two vibrant subcultures: skateboarding and hip hop.
The streets of New York City made a shift during the late ’80s when predominately white skateboarders began connecting with hip hop music leading to an exciting fusion of the two subcultures blurring racial and cultural lines.
“All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997)” is a beautiful historical collage of New York City’s youth-inspired street life that birthed a new culture of fashion and style.
With rare interviews from some of the most influential hip-hop artists, actors, and professional skateboarders, this documentary brings excitement, nostalgia, and real New York history that truly takes you back. If you love music, street style, hip hop, or New York City culture, you’re going to enjoy this piece.
