Pushing Mongo

About This Movie

Pushing Mongo is this raw, unfiltered glimpse into the life of a skateboarder who's really having a rough go at it. The atmosphere is gritty, capturing that urban vibe with an almost documentary-like feel. You get this sort of tender yet harsh reality of chasing dreams in a city that doesn’t always care. The pacing is pretty deliberate, letting you soak in the little moments, the struggles, and the fleeting joy of skating. While the director's identity is a mystery, the performances have a genuine authenticity that draws you in, making it feel like you’re right there with her on the streets. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the skate culture without glossing over the hardships.

Pushing Mongo has been released on limited formats, with a few indie distributor copies floating around, but it hasn't seen any major reissues yet. This limits its availability, so collectors are starting to take notice, especially those who appreciate indie skate films. Its underground charm and exploration of themes like resilience among skateboarders give it a certain appeal, making it a conversation starter among film enthusiasts.
