Watch: You Can’t Move History by Winstan Whitter

UK filmmaker Winstan Whitter has teamed up with LLSB and AHRC-funded project ‘You Can’t Move History, You Can Secure The Future’ to present a new film dubbed ‘You Can’t Move History’ – a story on the campaign to save the Southbank Undercroft.

Speaking to some of the locals skaters including filmmaker Henry Edwards-Wood, as well as the lawyers and activists who contributed to the cause, Whitter builds the story of London’s most notorious skate spot, it’s resonance with generations of skateboarders and the struggle that everyone went through to preserve the space for its community.

ADIDAS SKATEBOARDING – AWAY DAYS UK

adidas Skateboarding – Away Days UK

The Adidas Skateboarding team’s arrival in the UK cut against the backdrop of 250,000 citizens protesting to keep the country somewhere that people want to live.

Skateboarders’ inherent sense of perseverance and community has allowed the subculture to thrive in the mainstream. The very fact that the team were able to put on a skateboarding demo at Southbank is representative of the people’s power against government when determined and united.
