Overview
A short documentary film that explores the history of how military technology and atomic testing became entangled in contemporary surfing amongst the beaches of the San Diego area. Using vérité footage and animation, the film follows Shuuluk, a Kumeyaay surfer, who interacts daily with the resulting effects and complexities of occupation on his land and in his sport, and reclaims it as a practice of joy, play, and connection.
