Surfing with the Enemy

"Surfing with the Enemy" follows a group of Havana surfers trying to carve out a space for their sport in Cuba's restrictive society. Led by Eduardo Valdes, founder of the Havana Surf Association, two filmmakers from Venice Beach, California, journey across the island to the wave-rich but notorious Guantanamo province, near the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay. As they pursue waves along this contentious coast, they uncover a hidden paradise close to their own border and gain insight into being a surfer and a citizen in contemporary Cuba.
