HIGHWATER
HAWAII PREMIERE
HIGHWATER tells an inspiring story of competitors and non-competitors drawn to the
spectacle of the North Shore of Oahu during the Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing held
each year in Hawaii. Over the course of 55 days every year, these fierce contests turn
the fabled location on its ear as thousands of surfers, followers, and media descend
upon it for some of the world’s most stunning waves and high-performance surfing.
Brown chronicles the events and brings the audience into close contact with the
power of the ocean, athleticism, and devotion of those who call it their playground.
HIGHWATER is a story of triumph, tragedy, and brotherhood. As in his other films,
STEP INTO LIQUID and DUST TO GLORY, Brown gives the audience the humor as well
as the humanity of the situation, skillfully bringing the surfers and their families vividly
to the forefront of the story.

WHITE THUNDER: GLACIER SURFING
U.S. PREMIERE
In the summer of 2007, two big-wave surf champions, Garrett McNamara and Kealii
Mamala, traveled to the ‘wilds’ of Alaska to attempt an almost unimaginable feat.
Their mission was to surf a wave unlike any that had been surfed before… a wave
produced by a glacier. If they succeed, it will be a historic ‘first’ in surfing, opening
new ideas to what is truly possible; failure could mean their death. This awe-inspiring
documentary shows the trials, tribulations, and the drama that unfolds as two men
face an incredible force of nature and show what can be achieved when the power of
the human spirit and personal determination come together as they did in that
Summer of 2007.
