Join us in conversation with Bangla Surf Girls director Elizabeth D. Costa and writer/producer Lalita Krishna to learn more about how they made their inspirational documentary. CLICK HERE FOR THE RECORDING

An inspirational story from the heart of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. We witness the transformation of a group of teenage girls who join a local surf club and dare to dream big. Elizabeth D. Costa’s documentary captures the raw emotions, the family dynamics and the complex pressures of poverty on a coastline at the forefront of climate breakdown. Balancing the freedom of the waves with the restrictive realities of their daily lives, we experience the thrill and struggle of coming of age in a developing country. Not your average surf movie!

Stori ysbrydoledig o galon Cox’s Bazar ym Mangladesh. Gwelwn drawsnewidiad grŵp o ferched yn eu harddegau sy'n ymuno â chlwb syrffio lleol ac sy'n meiddio breuddwydio'n fawr. Mae ffilm ddogfen Elizabeth D. Costa yn cipio’r emosiynau amrwd, dynameg y teulu yn ogystal â phwysau cymhleth tlodi ar arfordir sydd ar flaen y gad o ran pwysau newid yn yr hinsawdd. Gan gydbwyso rhyddid y tonnau â realiti cyfyngol eu bywydau beunyddiol, cawn brofi gwefr a brwydr dod i oed mewn gwlad sy’n datblygu. Nid eich ffilm syrffio arferol.
