We Are Like Waves

About This Movie

So, 'We Are Like Waves' is this documentary that really digs deep into Sanu's journey as a surfer in Sri Lanka. You can feel the weight of her challenges and triumphs, and it’s not just about the waves—it's about her breaking into a male-dominated sport and what that means for her identity. The pacing is quite reflective, capturing those quiet moments of doubt alongside the adrenaline rush of surfing. The cinematography really immerses you in the beauty of Sri Lanka's coastline, making it feel almost like a character itself. It's raw and honest, showcasing not only the sport but also the cultural barriers she faces. There's a distinct authenticity in her story, a blend of personal growth and sheer passion for the ocean.
