Una Ola a la Vez
One surfer. One community. One wave at a time.
At Playa Encuentro, young Dominican surfer Alejandro trains for a future in professional surfing while confronting the economic barriers around him. His pursuit unfolds alongside a wider community fight to preserve access to the beach where generations of local surfers learned to ride the waves.
