We are delighted to be screening ‘Into the Sea’ as part of Clean Coasts Week. The documentary follows the story of the first surfers in Iran, a story shaped by three young women – Irish pro surfer, co-founder of Waves of Freedom and Clean Coasts Ambassador Easkey Britton, Iranian pro snowboarder Mona Seraji and Iranian diver Shalha Yasini. Together they planted the seed for new opportunities and made history, becoming the first women to surf in Iran. It is the recognition of the power of surfing to transcend social, cultural and gender barriers that inspired Easkey and director Marion Poizeau to found the non-profit organisation, Waves of Freedom which uses the power of surfing as a creative medium for positive social change.

The Annex Lecture Theatre, Martin Ryan Building, NUI Galway on 12^th May at 6:30pm
