Sliding Liberia Premier

Posted by: Alex | Wednesday, April 30, 2008 | 5 comments

Last night was the showing of Britt Caillouette’s First film entitled “Sliding Liberia”. The film played at the Newport Beach Film Festival. In attendance were the stars of the film and etnies team riders Dan Malloy and Chris del Moro. Sliding Liberia had a sold out show and found many surf fans without a ticket. Good surfing, over zealous Dan Malloy fans, beards, and paparazi pretty much sums up the night! Check out Sliding Liberia; it’s worth a look!

    Four young surfers travel through the war-torn West African nation of Liberia in search of the perfect wave. With the recent war shadowing the landscape, the group must face the everyday realities of life in a war-torn world. The search for waves becomes a quest for understanding, as the surfers record the stories of Liberians they meet along the way. Juxtaposing war-torn urban landscapes with images of tropical paradise, the film explores the tension that exists inside every traveler—a desire to connect with new people and places and an instinct to insulate oneself from the harsh realities of their surroundings.
