Soul Surfer (PG-13)
The 1960s term “soul surfer” has been used to describe everyone from die-hard boarders who quit their day jobs, to beach bums who only think they can handle a wave. But for Bethany Hamilton it means far more. Her soul truly is engaged in her passion for surfing. She even thinks God made her for it.
As a gifted child surfer in Hawaii, Bethany spent more time wet than she did dry. In fact, her mother was fairly convinced her daughter was a mermaid. To Bethany, pure joy meant catching a perfect wave and calling her ocean home. And she didn’t want to leave it even after tragedy ordered her to stay ashore.
It was 2003 when, at the age of 13, real-life Bethany lost her left arm in a tiger shark attack. Soul Surfer tries to tell the story of her courageous, indefatigable fight to return to competitive-level surfing. It also serves as a testament to the spiritual, emotional and physical restoration she attributes to “God’s healing touch.”
