This short 1966 documentary dedicated "to all victims of intolerance” depicts the dawn of skateboarding in Montreal. A new activity frowned upon by police and adults, skateboarding gave youngsters a thrilling sensation of speed and freedom. This film - the first Canadian documentary ever made about the sport - captures the exuberance of boys and girls having the time of their lives in free-wheeling downhill locomotion. Jutra's 1966 mockumentary film The Devil's Toy (Rouli-roulant), is a faux-anti-skateboarding propaganda film.

Documentaire qui saisit sur le vif des jeunes sur leurs planches à roulettes. Aussi populaire en 1965 qu’en 2009, ce sport sur une jambe ou deux offre un beau spectacle mais une loi l’interdit dans la rue. Le cinéaste a capté leur soif de liberté.
