God Went Surfing with the Devil
Alexander Klein. 2010. USA. 84 min.
At the end of 2007 a group of young men was surfing in Gaza, sharing some old ruined boards, when Israel decided to seal the borders.
The news hit the North of the country where a group of Israel and USA surfers start an initiative named Surfers 4 Peace. During the Spring of 2008, they try to introduce 23 surfboards in Gaza. God Went Surfing With The Devil tells the obstacles and dangers that Israeli and Palestinian surfers encounter while trying to practice their favourite sport.
