    Inspiring Film!

    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.

    Beautiful documentary...

    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...

    Truly significant film that will leave you inspired

    I saw the movie 7/12/19 at Regal Oceanside. Bethany Hamilton has always been one of the biggest role models in my life, an inspiration, and a motivator to say the least. This film has really made me reflect on how much of an impact she's had on me as I walk into my adulthood. It was full of breath taking scenes and so well put together, it makes her story so much more personal. Aaron Lieber and the rest of the crew have created us a view into her journey as she continues to overcome challenges and break through walls(waves) in the surfing world. It's an amazing film to witness. I pray it clears your mind and gives you peace like it did for me. God bless!!!
