Release Year: 2025
Join us for this special presentation from the SLO International Film Festival! Ben Judkins’ documentary takes viewers around the world (via a surfboard built from 10,000 littered cigarette butts) to learn about the importance of the ocean and what an inspiring cast of professional surfers are doing to protect it. The film is solution-driven with an optimistic outlook for the future of our planet – it opens up the dialogue for audiences to explore what anyone can do to take action in their personal lives and local communities. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal. Followed by a Q&A with the director after the show.
