| To the uninitiated, skateboarding is typically viewed as a teenage triviality, a fad or a stage, but to more than 50 million people around the world it’s a lawless religion to live and die by. The anti-authoritarian counter-culture surrounding skateboarding has had a far-reaching impact on society and generated some of the most unlikely cult heroes of the modern age. In the legendary wake of Dogtown and Z-Boys, Whyte House Productions’ “THE MAN WHO SOULED THE WORLD” documents the story of skateboarding’s most revolutionary figure, Steve Rocco and his former company World Industries. This controversial skateboard brand shamelessly pushed the limits and transformed the skateboard world by utilizing tactics of manipulation, ambushing the corporate world to rewrite the rules and usher in a new era of skater-owned companies when everyone else told them it could not be done. Steve Rocco, with a little help from his friends - created a cultural revolution that changed the face of skateboarding forever. Starring: Steve Rocco, Rodney Mullen, Jason Lee, Johnny Knoxville, Danny Way, Jeremy Klein, Marc McKee, Mark Gonzales, Natas Kaupas, Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze and many more. Music: Nirvana, David Bowie, The Pixies, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Milk, Primus, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill... |
