Chicks on Boards
Dörthe Eickelberg
A colourful cinematic journey with a positive message:
Where there’s a will, there’s a wave! In some cultures, surfers are ostracised, condemned or ridiculed. Why? Because these surfers are women.
Aneesha wants to become a professional surfer but is disowned by her family in India as a result.} Saba will soon ride her last wave in Gaza, because she is about to be married; then her husband will decide what she can and can’t do. Suthu is the only black woman in the water and in love with another woman – a risky combination in South Africa. In England, Gwyn was always the first in the water, and she’s still surfing at the grand old age of 72.
