John Magnusson

A documentary that follows a year in the life of a skateboarding sensation as he transforms from a cool street skater to a celebrity sportsperson.

Near Falkenberg, along the old E6, lies an abandoned skatepark, one of the world's oldest. This historic site depicts early skateboard culture. Skateboarder John Magnusson fights to save it from demolition for new housing. "Automobilen" explores its history, asking: What is cultural heritage?
