The youtube description indicates this video is an advertisement for, in fact, a book:
"Later, Skater" is the story about Kalki Helaku who is different. More different than you can even imagine considering not only is the young teen gay, but also an albino skater boy.
He struggles to maintain his sense of self, even as his father plots to sent him to a religious institution designed to change people's sexuality.
Ironically enough, it's at the center that he falls in love with the boy of his dreams. Together, they set out to escape from the pastors, counselors, and therapists who seem to have all the wrong intentions.
Will the pair of young lovers survive in an environment that is set on changing who they are and what they believe? Will they find a way to leave the horrors of New Horizons for Daily Living behind?
In "Later, Skater," Kalki's best trick may not come riding on a deck, but by staying true to himself no matter the circumstances.
