Birthright Film

This video has made quite an impact on the surf and kayaking communities since it was released around a month ago by Sean Mullens. I was recently asked by a surfer friend in Hawaii, Eric, who is also a wheelchair user, what I thought of it. I've asked Eric the same question.


Some of the comments on the Vimeo page are worth reading, but I was especially interested in the film-maker's own disection of the video. Once you've watched the film above, take a look at the version below, on which you'll hear Sean Mullens talk about how and why he made it. It's one of a series of director commentaries done by DSLR Storytelling.
