Jane S @gratefuljane 2d I was captivated throughout the entire film and found it to be very inspirational and motivating in terms of what we can all do to help protect the ocean! I loved the innovative designs that they used to create a beautiful surfboard from … cigarette butts! How is that possible! I've been teaching marine conservation for over 40 years and this film shows a whole new way to get important conservation messaging out to a wide audience. Bravo!!

Inspiring and a pleasure to watch See more Susana L @RT35387714 Aug 6 An impassioned surfer turned environmental warrior takes us on a journey from simple curiosity to political activism that achieves real change. Watching it unfold is inspiring; the lyrical surf cinematography and the stories of ecology-minded surfers around the world who fight to preserve the ocean, the blue pulse of our planet, make for an engaging and inspiring experience.

It was eye-opening to learn how something as small as a cigarette butt can have such a large impact on marine ecosystems. The film was engaging and did a great job explaining the issue without feeling overwhelming. It made me think more about the importance of keeping our beaches clean and how small actions can make a difference.

It is also about responding to injustice with creativity and art, and how effective creativity can be in making people aware of that injustice. Making a surfboard out of cigarette butts was a brilliant way to use what my kids used to call "cigarette poop" when they found butts on the beach. As an activist myself, I learned a lot about advocacy and was reminded that people often respond more readily to being "shown" rather than being "told". I highly recommend this film for everyone who loves the ocean, and for everyone who loves justice.
