D.O.P.E. - Death Or Prison Eventually - Trailer

Presented by Car Angel & Boat Angel, D.O.P.E. tracks the Rise, Fall and Redemption of four major skateboard legends: 1975-'76 World Champion BRUCE LOGAN, Dogtown's JAY ADAMS, 1977 World Freestyle Champion, DENNIS MARTINEZ and aerial master CHRISTIAN HOSOI.

Stunning archival footage and current HD interviews take you on a rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell, where the highs of championship trophies are followed by the ultimate lows of addiction, homelessness, prison and death. Original music by Grammy winners ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, P.O.D. and SWITCHFOOT along with some exciting new musical groups is perfectly married with the gritty narration of famed actor, DANNY TREJO. The rise is steep, the fall is brutal and the redemption nothing less than miraculous.


"Nobody's going to get up for popcorn during this film; I couldn't turn away for a second. Watch it!"

-Actor, Danny Trejo


"D.O.P.E. is Dogtown with a message. I've skated all my life, and write this with a broken wrist from skating. This film is all about brokenness, but so much more, this film is about redemption!"

-Jim Moriarty, CEO Surfrider Foundation


"Everyone pretty much knows that drugs wreck lives, but somehow the message doesn't seem to hit home enough to stop people from doin' 'em. D.O.P.E. delivers the point with both barrels. With unflinching candor, and unfeigned grit, the amazing story of one of skateboarding's founding legends; Dennis Martinez speaks with authority that transcends words and power that will change lives."

-Skateboarding legend, Rodney Mullen
