"Hoods to Woods" is a documentary based on the story of Brian "Deka" Paupaw and his journeys from the inner city streets of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn to the deep powder backcountry mountains in North and South America. Through Brian's self told story, we experience how the culture of snowboarding transformed a life, once stifled by the social constraints of the streets, into one which is only bounded by the edge of a mountain.
