Underexposed: a women's skateboarding documentary

2014 • 85 minutes

About this movie

At the age of 12, Amelia Brodka went to the X-Games and discovered that girls can skateboard. It began a life-long obsession that led her full circle to those very X-Games as an alternate. After working very hard the following year she earned an invite to be a competitor. Then they canceled her event.

Amelia's desire to find answers led her on a quest to examine the skateboarding industry's approach to how it markets, promotes and supports women in its sport, and to find out if there is a place for women in professional skateboarding.

Through interviews with other women who skateboard and prominent figures in the skateboarding industry, exciting skateboarding footage and her own experience, Amelia paints a picture of a subculture within a subculture on the verge of breaking out.

Ratings and reviews

Good, it was inspiring since im a girl skater, plus it was positive and truthful in telling u about how tough it is 4 girl skaters. It is kinda boring (like almost all documentaries ) but other than that i liked it

Always another excuse to moan, what ever mem do in life the women will get involved and then moan that they aren't getting recognised for it. Sexist and haters.

Awesome video that more people need to see not just Female skateboarders, all skateboarders. Love the support from the legends of skateboarding. Inspiring for all
