D.O.P.E., a documentary, tells the true story of the lives of professional skaters, Bruce Logan, Jay Adams, Dennis Martinez and Christian Hosoi.
In the 70's and 80's, they rose to the top with world recognition for their unsurpassed skateboarding achievements, taking away world championship titles and
glossing the covers of magazines. They have gone down as legends of the sport. They had it all, or so it seemed.
Each of the four athletes shared one vice, a common shadow that dragged
them from the spotlight... a downward spiralling addiction to drugs. Pot, cocaine and crystal meth all took part in eating away at their once astonishing skateboard careers.
At their lowest point... at times homeless... penniless... or even sitting in prison... they
made a decision to turn life around. Their story is one of rising, falling
and redemption.
