‘Soul Surfer’
Soul Surfer is a moving film based on the life and autobiography of teenage surfing protege, Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a traumatic shark attack. The film, starring AnnaSophia Robb as Hamilton, follows her recovery from the accident, as well as her miraculous return to competitive surfing. Not only is Soul Surfer a faithful rendition of a poignant true story, it also has a killer soundtrack. “This Is the Life” by Two Door Cinema Club owes much of its success to the popular movie, which expertly paired the song alongside stunning aerial shots of Hawaii. Considering Hawaiian tourism is not particularly accessible these days, Soul Surfer‘s addition to Netflix’s lexicon is perfectly timed.
