Gum For My Boat

Bangladesh, 2009, Video, 32 minDirector: Russel BrownleyCast: Kahana Kalana, Jafar Alam, Tom Bauer, stoked groms Meet Jafar, Bangladesh’s first surfer. A travelling Ozzie sold him a surfboard for 20 bucks in 1991, and he made history that has grown into a story about 70 stoked groms, Bangladesh’s first surf club, and how surfing flourished in unlikely places. Narrated by hip, cool Kahana Kalana, a pro-surfer, this film sweeps you through the gritty streets and into the briny sea, where stoke abounds from street urchin to NGO volunteer. Feel good in the real world bru. 18h15 Sunday 19 December, Labia Cinema (with Dark Fall)
