Echo Chamber - 152: Rom Boys: 40 Years of Rad
It's another of our midweek, 'Special Edition' episodes of @EchoChamberFP In this one we take a gander at 'Rom Boys: 40 Years of Rad' which is playing at 'The Romford Film Festival' 21:25pm 24th June 2021.
Matt Harris makes his directorial debut with 'Rom Boys: 40 Years of Rad'. He worked on the story with Susan Brand. Built at the end of the seventies the world’s only historically recognised skatepark “Rom Town” aka 'Rom Skatepark' was at the heart of the UK scene. Now it's the beloved home of middle age skaters, BMXers, and street artists, who against all the odds, are fighting to keep it alive for the next generation.
