Sliding Liberia Trailer

Back



"Sliding Liberia" follows a group of young surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. As they travel through the West African country, devastated by decades of brutal civil war, they record the stories of people they meet along the way----people like Alfred, a young boy who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. Besides rediscovering a world-class point break that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, the surfers find something much more important----a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century. Surfers: Dan Malloy, Chris Del Moro, Crystal Thornburg. A film by Britton Caillouette and Nicholai Lidow. Cinematography by: Dave Homcy Trailer Music: "Tibet On It" by Chicago Afrobeat Project

Thanks so much from coming back to Sage and showing it to us. I loved it! not only was the footage itself amazing, but the way you controlled the emotions was down right great. how it went from reality and sadness to surfing and fun was the perfect balance. Congratulations on the success too. It is well deserved. -Lyric
