Jarpy: My Home From Venezuela To Bristol

This is a story of one of many Venezuelans who have had their lives affected by the recent situation in Venezuela. By no means the average expat, Jarpy’s life is dominated by his passion of longskate, a strange variation of skateboarding. Jarpy, My Home is an opportunity to learn about a situation far from the UK, and its effect on the life and family of one man who now calls Bristol home.

My take

A intimate portrait of resilience and passion that transcends geography. Follow Jarpy as he navigates displacement from Venezuela through the lens of his obsession with longskate—a documentary that feels less like a story about crisis and more like a meditation on home, identity, and finding yourself through movement.
