MAYA AND THE WAVE | FRIDAY September 27th | TIME 7:30PM | 
2022 | Running Time: 1 h 35 min | Documentary | Rated G

Directed by: Stephanie Johnes

Maya Gabeira grew up in Brazil with a dream to surf competitively. Like any surfer, she had to overcome the hazards of the ocean through training and discipline. But she was also forced to confront deep chauvinism in the male-dominated sport as naysayers second-guessed her every move. In “Maya and the Wave,” we follow Gabeira on a quest to break a world record in the Portuguese town of Nazaré, known for its big waves. We watch Maya navigate the sports business and endure constant undermining that reflects what happens in many fields where women need to work harder than men to get equal recognition. 

What makes Maya such a compelling subject and Johnes’s portrait of her so different from films about male surf legends, is Gabeira’s willingness to admit her fear.

The film more than succeeds in its primary goals of providing an inspirational role model plus lots of stupendous surfing footage, a combination that will enthrall most viewers.- Variety
