This autobiographical experimental documentary explores the story behind Ben Duffy’s first film, We Are Skateboarders, and the 15-year mental health journey that followed. Ben was 19 and living with undiagnosed bipolar disorder when he made the film. Although it became the second most-watched skateboarding documentary after Dogtown and Z-Boys, it was not a commercial success. As attention grew, Ben’s mental health deteriorated, forcing him to question the meaning of success in life and art. His healing began through therapy, where he confronted trauma, shame, guilt, and complex PTSD linked to the filmmaking experience. The documentary captures his transformation from immense pain toward catharsis, self-love, and compassion. It is a raw and inspiring exploration of resilience, creativity, and mental health.
