Maya and the Wave | Newcastle Event Cinema screening
JOIN US FOR THE UNIQUE SCREENING OF MAYA AND THE WAVE FOLLOWED BY Q&A WITH DIRECTOR STEPHANIE JOHNES and TIM BONYTHON CINEMATOGRAPHER LIVE ON STAGE!
World-champion Brazilian surfer Maya Gabeira battles monster waves as well as chauvinism in this stunning documentary.
Maya and the Wave, a feature length documentary, tells the extraordinary story of Maya Gabeira, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns - and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later, she surfs the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. When her accomplishment is disregarded, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition --and becomes the first female surfer honoured with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
EVENT SCHEDULE: 6:15PM DOORS for 6:30PM SHOWTIME!
* Please note: All ticketing is General Admission with no allocated seating with no refunds available *
