Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha and Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament are featured in a new documentary about skateboard music.
The 22-minute film, titled Intense Energy: Sounds of Skateboarding, "explores the intersections of skateboarding and underground music, where it started and how it evolved into what it is today."
"Because I grew up around all this privilege but was without, I had to create a world of my own," de la Rocha says in the doc. "Because if your dignity is being challenged on a daily basis, you need the tools to defend yourself. And skating became a way by which I did that."
You can watch Intense Energy: Sounds of Skateboarding on YouTube. A screening will take place in New York City on Nov. 21.
