Movie Screening: Into the Sea
May 1, 2017
Thursday, 5/4, 11 a.m. University Club, Knapp Hall
Directed by Marion Poizeau, Into the Sea depicts how
three young women – Irish pro surfer Easkey, Iranian pro snowboarder Mona, and Iranian diver Shalha introduce a new sport to Iran: surfing.
Through the eyes of these women, the viewer experiences the journey from a unique and unusual perspective full of heart and emotion. The film portrays their journey to the remote southeastern region of Iran, Baluchistan, where Mona and Shalha are going to learn to surf with Easkey. All three share a passion and belief in the power of sport, especially surfing, as a way to break down social and cultural barriers, and connect with others.
