Dedicated “to all victims of intolerance,” "The Devil’s Toy" is a faux–public service documentary that chronicles the early days of skateboarding in Montreal. Framed as mock anti-skateboarding propaganda, Claude Jutra contrasts official hostility with the exhilaration and freedom experienced by youths racing downhill through city streets, shortly before the activity was banned.

"Wheels of circular design" As opposed to those efficient square wheels.

"For the moment we are safe but beware: the youth of the world is on the move and their aim is to take over". This soundtrack and footage touchs my heart. Still actual in 2020.

The sarcasm and dry humor in the film are excellent.
