Sliding Liberia

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

„Sliding Liberia“ follows a group of surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. As they travel through the West African country, devastated by decades of brutal civil war, they record the stories of people they meet along the way—-people like Alfred, a young boy who became Liberia’s first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. The film turns the Endless Summer genre on it’s head, juxtaposing war-torn landscapes with images of tropical paradise and a wave that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world.

Surfers: Dan Malloy, Chris Del Moro, Crystal Thornburg, Nicholai Lidow, Alfred Lomax.

Cinematography by: Dave Homcy
