Prefer to tune out of all the political drama of the western world? Put aside half an hour to have your mind blown by “Meet the Stans,” another remarkable skate film set in Asia. Like Charles Lanceplaine’s recent “Ordos,” “Meet the Stans” is a skate-centric odyssey from the seemingly hostile lands of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. Directed, filmed and edited by Patrik Wallner and featuring Dave Bachinsky, Jimmy McDonald, Laurence Keefe, Dan Zvereff, Stas Provotorov, Gosha Konyshev, Walker Ryan, Kenny Reed and Michael Mackrodt, this is epic in every sense of the word.
