The personal documentary of Hawaiian teen shark attack survivor and inspirational surfer, Bethany Hamilton.
Bethany Hamilton, a 13-year-old girl destined for a successful surfing career, lost her arm to a 14-foot tiger shark on October 31, 2003. The attack didn’t cause this determined “Soul Surfer” to give up. Instead, it compelled her to discover her purpose in life as she overcame the loss of her arm and got back on a surfboard just weeks later.
Heart of a Soul Surfer digs deep into the heart of Bethany’s abiding faith in God, and tackles difficult questions such as, “Why does God allow bad things to happen in our lives?” It features exclusive surf and family footage of Bethany before and after the attack, including Bethany’s first attempts at surfing with one arm, as well as her winning the 2005 NSSA National Surfing Championship just 19 months later.
Bethany’s story has been told by many different people around the world, but this is the first time she and her family members have personally shared it from their heart and perspective.
Heart of a Soul Surfer has been described as one of the most powerful ministry tools available — appealing not only to youth and surfers, but also to audiences of all ages and interests. An inspiring story for anyone facing a difficulty in their own life.
This Special Edition DVD adds 4 new bonus features, including a Gospel presentation by Bethany and Pastor David “Waxer” Tipton of One Love Ministries in Oahu and subtitles in 9 languages.
This is a powerful, true story that you won’t want to miss!
