Surfing is killing it. This $10 billion global industry – built on a clean, green dream – has never been more popular. But surfing has a dirty secret, and people are dying.

Combining stunning cinematography with insights from activists, environmentalists, scientists and industry insiders, this timely tale uses the lens of surfing to unwrap issues of environmental racism, social justice, corporate responsibility and greenwashing, exploring the power we have as individuals to effect change.


One of the most important outdoor films of all time.” – Keme Nzerem, journalist, Channel 4 news presenter
