White Wash background

White Wash

African American surfers redefine identity and recreation as they challenge societal norms and ride the waves of change in America.

The documentary White Wash explores the complexities of race in America through the stories of black surfers from Hawaii, Jamaica, Florida, and California. Narrated by Ben Harper and Tariq "Blackthought" Trotter, the film delves into the painful legacy of slavery and exclusion in America, from the "discovery" of surfing in Hawaii to the rise of surf culture in 1960s segregated America.
