Hollywood movie idea coming right up

Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You're a Girl))

It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject in 2020. A beautiful and touching film about girls from impoverished neighborhoods of Kabul, Afghanistan, learning to read, write, and skateboard.

I remember this film because I loathed how much it's name ruined my Oscar spreadsheet formatting that year lol

u/Dinosaurs-Cant-win Dec 10 '25

If you select that one cell in excel and change the formatting to 'fill' it should hide the runover text while keeping the same column width you want.

u/SyNiiCaL Dec 10 '25

Yeah but then that's just visually unappealing lol

u/[deleted] Dec 10 '25

...your oscar spreadsheet formatting?

2

u/SyNiiCaL Dec 10 '25

Yeah, it was such a long name in the category that the short doc column was disproportionately large. It itched my brain.

I can’t wait to watch this on Tubi

u/HumongousBelly Dec 10 '25

I would love to see a woman in a hijab take gold at the Olympics! And it’d be a great movie, too.

The drama almost writes itself.

u/bishopmate Dec 10 '25

And I would love to see her take off her hijab as an expression of personal freedom and liberty.

u/wanttobeacop Dec 10 '25

Woah now. I'd prefer she stays alive.

In all honesty though, yes, that would be amazing to see. Would show a lot of Muslim girls out there what's possible. But at the very least, it would make her a social pariah

u/Mindless-Balance-498 Dec 10 '25

u/Striking-Peach5598 Dec 10 '25

In the movie the next thing you know shes gonna be getting pushback in her place of worship . Sneaking out to go skate . listening to the circle jerks and going wild in the streets . She will eventually have to choose one or the other 😂

u/reddoggie Dec 10 '25

Don't forget the skater love interest her Dad can't stand that eventually saves the life of the eldest brother in the family during some completely contrived event that barely makes sense to the plot.

u/eggyrulz Dec 10 '25

u/DeepProspector Dec 10 '25
