Hear it First

September 14, 2010

Before any flyers, before any email announcements, hear it first right here. If you are from Grand Junction or even just Colorado and your looking for something fun to do on a Friday night then this is for you. Light Gives Heat will be hosting a series of informal events this fall highlighting 4 individual films. We'll start the series with surf and end with snow. No need to bust out your wallet to get in, just bring a lawn chair, bean bag or blanket and your set to go.

The first film we will be showing is called "Gum for my Boat". "Gum For My Boat is a story of Hope focusing on the Bangladesh Surf Club and its members. The club consists of more than 30 boys and girls and is helping to introduce surfing into a culture in a very unconventional method. Many of the children are street kids or come from very poor families. Some don't even know how to swim, but their love for surfing brings them together and into a way of life they never even knew existed. An ocean that was once deemed off limits due to fear and a very conservative Islamic culture is now becoming source of fun, escape and even a chance for a way to make a living. Follow professional surfer, Kahana Kalama (a past guest star of Fuel TV’s series On Surfari) as he works with Hawaiian-based non-profit, Surfing The Nations, and learns from these kids that sometimes, surfing involves much more than catching waves."

This film was funded by Jedediah Clothing. This first film night, LGH will be giving away Jedediah merch to a few lucky people, so you don't want to miss it.
