🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is far more than a sports documentary; it's a courageous, unflinching autopsy of a tragedy. The film balances exhilarating surf footage with intimate, painful testimonies, refusing to simplify its subject into just a champion or a victim.
What lingers after the credits roll is a profound sense of a life caught between dazzling light and consuming darkness. It serves as a vital, humanizing document in the face of a national crisis. — MovieFinder Editorial
