Counterculture Pioneers is a new series that celebrates the people from around the world who break the mold of the society they’ve always known, to explore and create a new community through music, arts, and sports. These trailblazers often risk their own safety, comfort, and security to live as their authentic selves, doing and creating what they love. This first selection of films focuses on a handful of Middle Eastern pioneers who've pushed the envelope in social justice and personal identity through skateboarding, thrash metal, hip hop, and more.
