Beyond: An African Surf Documentary - 2017 - 6/10
Embryonic surf scenes from Morocco, through Mauritania, into Senegal.
Not all riding the waves, either. A philosophical bookseller, freestyle dancer, BMX cyclist, canoeists, nomads.
All breaking with social expectations, and the empty dream of becoming a millionaire.
Surf sequences are not typical surf porn (slow motion, razor focus, cerulean skies).
Africa is an exploited / struggling continent. There may be trash, smog, soldiers, mines.
Participants are hopeful that tomorrow, perhaps, will be a better day.
