We Were Once Kids

20211h 28mEnglishAU

In early-1990s New York, before widespread gentrification transformed its poorer neighborhoods, young people from broken homes and sharply different backgrounds find family through skateboarding. Together they build a distinct life on the city's brutal streets, one that later inspires Larry Clark's 1995 film Kids.
