This documentary represents the future of documentary film making- combining stunning High-Def cinematography (on the level of Planet Earth series), flawless editing, and a powerful, moving story. I think the film's release in theaters is going to blow people away!!! 10/10 recommend to anyone.
I don't know if I've been living under a rock but being from the UK and not a particular surf fan I'd genuinely not heard of Bethany before this however the film both left me feeling inspired by her personal story but also made me want to surf myself at some point! Shot wonderfully throughout it really left me blown away at times!
Gorgeously shot and with amazing editing - this film highlights what's truly amazing about Bethany Hamilton: her unwillingness to give up (the title is perfect!). I was so inspired after seeing this film. I highly recommend seeing iy on the biggest screen possible so you can experience the force and power of the ocean from all of the amazing shots this film managed to capture.

SO GOOD in SO MANY WAYS. Action, drama, heart. Victory and vulnerability. The filmmaker really brings us in to what she's doing, thinking, feeling along her journey. Right up there with Momentum Generation. GO SEE IT!
I'm a big fan of this girl, like everyone else, since watching the movie biography about her, a determination, strength, indescribable hope, apart from her talent, I was happy to know that she's a mom, nice to follow all the difficulties and barriers she comes facing, and has been winning each one of them... Beautiful documentary...
