Premiering on November 4 at the Urbanworld Film Festival in NYC, Ocean People delves into the history of surfing in West Africa and highlights the deep-rooted culture and connection West African surfers share with the water. The film strives to depict this culture and rituals by following professional surfer Cherif Fall to bring attention to the region and the historic ties to the sport. While most people associate surfing with Polynesian origins and the first known account of the sport in Hawaii in the 1700s, anthropologists and historians have since challenged this narrative with the belief that "wave riding culture" was developed independently around the world, including the West Coast of Africa at the same time, if not earlier. To shed light on these findings, Corona Studios collaborated with Jamaican filmmaker Clé Hunnigan and Puerto Rican cinematographer Robin Rivera to share this story.
