Freedom Swell documentary screening

January 28, 2025

The Nova Scotia Federation of Labour Anti-Racism/Human Rights Committee is pleased to present the documentary Freedom Swell on February 22, 2025 at the Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen St., Halifax. Doors Open at 12, screening begins at 1pm.

Freedom Swell highlights a surf program designed to empower African Nova Scotian youth to connect with the ocean. The film explores the lack of diversity in the East Coast surf scene, stemming from complex historical barriers such as racism, segregated beaches, and generational fear of water. Co-founder LaMeia Reddick, volunteers, participants, and community members share their stories about the healing nature of water. Freedom Swell beautifully represents the spirit of North Preston Surf, a flagship program designed to inspire for years to come.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion & refreshments.

There is no charge to attend this event, but please register as the theatre has limited capacity.

We do ask that you consider making a donation to North Preston Surf when you arrive at the theatre.
