Product Description

Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy takes you inside a hillbilly skateboarder “commune” in Appalachia where anything goes. The self-declared cult-leader of Skatopia converts punk skaters into volunteer labor, battles bill collectors, does a stint in jail and raises his own family amidst the chaos. The Collector's Edition includes deleted scenes, extended interviews, music and "real time" sequences and featurettes on Meigs County, Ohio and the Skatopia Skateboard Museum. Also Director and Brewce Martin Commentary track. “Skatopia offers visitors...a taste of the absolute freedom they think they want” - Rolling Stone “An inspiring story about building an empire on your own terms” - Denver Examiner “Completely even-handed, the film needs to be seen to be believed. – Highsnobiety.com “Brilliant…a fully mature film” – Russell Banks, The Sweet Hereafter, Affliction “It’s what you learn how to skate for...It’s living.” - Dustin Dollin, Pro Skateboarder “Skatopia is a rite of passage for skaters.” – Tony Hawk, Skate Legend Featuring: Brewce Martin, Dustin Dollin, Benji Galloway, Tony Hawk, Tim Johnson, Bam Margera, Brandon Martin,  Lance Mountain, Duane Peters

Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012

This movie was educational in the respect that life has many risks and rewards. I like that Brewce Martin built a skate haven from the ground up with little to no support but from close friends and pure donations. It is really quite great what Brewce and his crones have created, and the insight to what pure chaos that ensues anarchy. This movie is for Anarchists and skaters alike for anyone else steer clear.

Started out interesting but quickly lost appeal. I thought there would be more skating.

An exciting look into a culture that many people would never know about. Brewce is truly one of a kind.

I watched this documentary when it was on Netflix and I came here to purchase years later since it's no longer available to stream. As an average upper middle class American, it's refreshing to see another American make their own unique path and succeed without succumbing to the daily grind. Bruce is a dirtbag but he's also making the most out of his 1 chance at life. The people (mostly young people) who stay with him don't just get to sit around and do nothing but actually work, build, and become part of something bigger than themselves that isn't centered around oppressing others. For the duration of the documentary you get a small taste of what life could be like if you had the courage to live free from the bondage of Anglo cultural norms.

Give it a go.

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014

If you never look below the surface, you'll dismiss this movie/documentary as nothing more than a group of lawless anarchists. But as the action unfolds you find Brewce (the owner of Skatetopia) is a business man, mentor, and believer in the pursuit of those things that make you happy. Too often we are consumed by other people's idea of what life is supposed to be. It's nice to see someone living as close to freedom as life will allow. And provide the same freedom to others that he wants for himself. Who wouldn't want to cut free and be themselves? I, for one, enjoy the chaos created on 88 acres of insanity. Give it a go.
