The Brotherhood: Chicago Trailer (2012)

Trailer for the documentary The Brotherhood: Chicago.

Featuring more than 20 years of the director’s personal and previously unseen skate footage and interviews, this documentary traces the fates of three first-wave skaters from the Second City. Jesse Neuhaus and Stevie Dread were members of the famed Alva team at a time when few skaters from the Midwest cracked the West Coast’s stranglehold on the quickly evolving industry, and skateboard to this day despite their ups and downs in the industry. Also featured is Eric Murphy, a Chicago shredder who shot in and out of the spotlight with equally fast velocity and power.
