WAITING FOR LIGHTNING DOCUMENTARY

From the producers of "Step Into Liquid", comes "Waiting For Lightning", the story of Danny Way, a young boy from a broken home in Vista, CA, whose passion for skateboarding would one day bring him and his creation, a ramp of prodigious and dangerous proportions, across many cultural and ideological boundaries to attempt the impossible: jump China’s Great Wall on a skateboard. It’s a film about how much abuse the body can sustain, how deep you have to dig to survive the betrayals of family, and how high and far dreams can fly.

Waiting for Lightning is a feature length documentary film about skateboarding legend Danny Way. Directed by Jacob Rosenberg, Waiting for Lightning delves into Danny’s life story and the progression of the sport that he is a part of.
