About Roller Dreams:
It’s 1975 and Venice Beach, CA is on the verge of a pop culture explosion. Young people seeking refuge from the turmoil of Los Angeles flock to the eclectic ocean community and create a brand new phenomenon: roller dancing!
Their vibrant personalities and talent draw massive crowds and influence trends in TV and movies. Yet just as roller dancing flourishes, politics, money and gentrification conspire to take their dreams away. Roller Dreams is a vibrant, crowd pleasing film with a fantastic nostalgic soundtrack.
