In 1989, the country still in the grip of apartheid, three black South African boys escape their township lives through surfing, before jealousy and the vestiges of apartheid makes themselves felt… Sara Blecher’s vibrant first narrative feature—drawn from her work as a documentarian on the surfer way of life—captures a subculture as it confronts a historical turning point.
