Film Review: Given - Visual Poetry, Nomadic Journeys

in #film7 years ago (edited)

(

I recently saw the film Given by Jess Bianchi on Netflix, and was really moved by the stunning photography, story and music. It's a work of art that shares the beauty and wisdom of different cultures around the world. The film is sheer visual poetry that touches the soul! Thanks to Jess Bianchi, the Goodwin family and the rest of the team for creating such a beautiful, timeless film!

According to the film website, "Told through the visceral experience of a 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations. Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy’s understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature."
