Gaza Surf Club (2016) takes a "day in the life" approach, following the story of a group of Gazans who practice surfing as a source of freedom. The film focuses on the narrative of three people – Mohammed, Safah and Ibrahim - providing an insight into the culture and reality of surfing in the Gaza Strip. Only a small piece of the Mediterranean Sea is accessible through the sieged Gaza City. The occupation challenges their opportunities for surfing, but the surfers cope with adversity to pursue their passion.

You can find out more about how to support the Gaza Surf Club here.

After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes. 

The screening will take place at Flourish House. The film will be captioned and some light refreshments will be available. 

Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.
