Fifteen years after the civil war that devastated the country, Liberia is slowly rising from the ashes and moving toward a brighter renewal.
Professional surfers Damien Castera and Arthur Bourbon meet children of the war who, in certain regions, have traded their assault rifles for surfboards. The film follows Liberia’s reconstruction and encounters with these new generations who have replaced weapons with surfing.
