This captivating film dives into the unpredictable world of professional surfing, where each wave holds the potential to shape a life and redefine a dream. The film follows Andre Oziol, a determined athlete on his quest to go pro, as he confronts intense competition, personal setbacks, and the challenges of embracing his identity as a Jew.


Through globe-trotting adventures and moments of profound self-reflection, Andre’s journey evolves from one of ambition to one of self-discovery. Overcoming injuries, defeats, and inner turmoil, he ultimately rekindles his passion for surfing, transforming it into a source of healing and joy. Going Pro is a deeply moving exploration of personal strength, the power of the sea, and the courage it takes to rediscover one’s true self.
