Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Parkour emerged from Paris banlieues in the 1980s as a working-class philosophy of movement; this film quietly continues that tradition of democratizing urban space.
Director Juan Quintana spent two years training with Marcelo's crew to earn the trust that makes the confessionals feel stolen rather than performed.
