This series is far more than just a showcase of an extreme sport; it delves into societal issues with the same intensity and adrenaline as the sport it portrays.
“Spinners” unfolds over eight episodes – taking you in deep into the world of spinning, a little known but immensely dangerous motor sport that combines high-speed driving with daring stunts both inside and outside the vehicle.
Other themes addressed in the series are drug abuse, alcohol addiction, criminal activity, drug trafficking, violence, romantic relationships, camaraderie/friendship and various others.
