Sliding Liberia
(Liberia , USA)
A story of war, peace, and surfing.
Sliding Liberia follows four young surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. Risking everything to explore the West African country devastated by decades of war, they record the stories of people they meet—people like Alfred, who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. Besides rediscovering a break that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, they find something more important - a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century.
Directed by Britton Caillouette. Los Angeles premiere.
Sliding Liberia @ 7:00PM

The Run

Some people will never know what they have lost until they risk everything they have. For most drug mules once is enough, for Amanda and Rowly it is just the beginning, until the consequences they face are far worse than the fear of imprisonment.
Directed by Tania Meneguzzi. North American premiere.
