SYNOPSIS

Damien CASTERA (film Director) and Arthur BOURBON (film writer) flew to Liberia, one of the poorest countries in the world. “Water Get No Enemy“, produced by Hand Studio and Almo Film, is a moving story of resilience and transformation, the renewal of a country that is on the path of establishing peace, environmental and cultural responsibilities. They met the first generation of surfers in the country and among them are former child soldiers who, 15 years after the end of the civil war, want to rebuild themselves thanks to surfing.

DIRECTOR

Professional freesurfer for over ten years, Arthur BOURBON likes to discover new horizons, to take up new challenges. In addition to being an excellent surfer, Arthur is also very talented behind a camera and now shares his life between the ocean and his audiovisual career. As often as he can, he combines his two passions and travels the world to make films such as «Inna Di Caribbean», a documentary selected and awarded at numerous festivals.
