Soul Surfer

The film was shot in only 40 days, and the entire film was shot on 35mm film. The film is adapted from the biographical literature "Soul Surfing: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Getting Back on a Surfboard" published in 2004. Bethany Hamilton (played by AnnaSophia Robb), who grew up on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, is a natural surfing genius who has demonstrated her extraordinary talent in surfing since she was a child. She participated in a national surfing competition with her friend Elana (Lorraine Nicholson) and achieved impressive results. But one morning when she was 13, a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her while she was surfing, biting off her left arm. In an instant, her life and future were swept away. Just when everyone was preparing to find another way out for her, she decided to use her mutilated body to return to the surfing arena. With the help of her good friends Tom, Cherry and Sarah, she used her amazing perseverance to stand up again and stand on the surfboard and the waves.
