The Scars of Ali Boulala

COLOR GRADING
Ali Boulala became legendary in the 90s for being the most eccentric skateboarder of his time. In 2007, Ali and teammate Shane Cross were in a tragic motorcycle accident. Both were heavily intoxicated when Ali drove into a wall with Shane on the back. Ali ended up in a coma, and Shane was killed. Today, Ali is sober after years of substance abuse. He carries the scars on his body and in his psyche, daily reminders of the accident that haunts him. Is he ready to confront his past, or are there some wounds that can't be healed?

The amount of 90s and early 2000s footage is incredible!
