The Devil's Toy
The Devil's Toy is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1966, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
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.
