White Wash charts the origins of surfing on the West coast of Africa and Polynesia, introduces the black godfather of surfing and comments on how the sport became identified with blue-eyed blondes. It also explores 1950s African-American beach culture and civil rights. White Wash will be preceded by a short film, Surf girls of Jamaica, about Imani Wilmot, an inspirational Jamaican surfer who uses sport to transform local women's lives and experiences in Kingston, Jamaica.
