An inspirational and breath-taking documentary about Australian Matt Formston, Paralympian and 4x World Champion blind surfer.
Diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy at age five, Matt shares some of his processes that have enabled him to succeed at the highest level – both in and out of the water, despite facing a lifetime of judgment and prejudice. This thought- provoking account explores the remarkable career of one of the greatest blind surfers of all time.
With only 3% vision remaining, Matt aims to inspire the next generation. With insights from World Champions Layne Beachley AO, Sam Bloom, Joel Parkinson and big wave legends Lucas ‘Chumbo’ Chianca and Dylan Longbottom, the film follows Matt around the world, as he pushes his mettle to the limits and attempts his most fearsome and dangerous challenge yet, breaking the world record for a blind surfer and surfing the monster waves of Nazaré.
