Surfing Favela's Blurbs

About me:

Passionate people. Filmmakers.Surfers. Film Festivals. People who have the courage to say they want to change the world"

The movie

"Surfing Favela" was shot with the aid of the communities of Cantagalo and Rocinha; the latter, with its 250,00 inhabitants, is considered the biggest slum in Rio de Janeiro. The documentary richly portrays the daily tasks of a group of surfers that helps the youth of their own community to discover in surfing, a direct bridge to freedom and nature. The characters spend their days between the hills and the sea, trying to turn their projects into a sustained reality. But with so many difficulties and opposing forces, their small actions become nothing but truly enormous feats. Their testimony is a new generation of young surfers who defy their environments limitations by choosing the surfing lifestyle over the never-ending cycle of local violence, corruption and drugs.

Awards

"Surfing Favela" was selected as a finalist for the THE FUEL EXPERIMENT, an international contest sponsored by Fuel TV(USA) - the only Latin American Project to reach the Top Ten. The contest grants young talents of the Extreme Sports Audiovisual Industry with the complete funds to make their films a reality.
