Surfing is killing it. This $10 billion global industry – built on a clean, green dream – has never been more popular. But surfing has a dirty secret, and people are dying. From filmmakers Lewis Arnold and Chris Nelson,The Big Seais the award-winning independent documentary exposing surfing’s hidden links to ‘Cancer Alley’ and the devastating impact of our toxic addiction to Neoprene – a synthetic material born out of a carcinogenic chemical process so toxic that the California government requires wetsuits to carry healthwarnings.

Through the lens of surfing and unwrapping issues of greenwashing, social justice and environmental racism, this life and death tale of two seemingly unconnected communities explores the power we have as individuals to effect change.   The film will be followed by a Q&A.
