Hard to Say

Stumbling across the perfect wave, two surfers start a chain reaction of unintended consequences. Perfection comes at a cost. Changed forever by the discovery of a ‘perfect wave’ in the 1970’s, POINT OF CHANGE chronicles the first surfers to ‘discover' this point at Nias island, Indonesia, and the unintended dramatic consequences that followed. When two young surfers from Australia want to escape the political climate of their home in the 1970s, they set off in search of their idea of ’santosha’; a perfect location with a perfect wave. Their dream came true and they found their holy grail when they stumbled across Lagundi Bay, on the remote island of Nias in Indonesia. Unwittingly Kevin Lovett and John Giesel were the new colonials wearing different hats, walking into an entirely different culture and community, completely unaware of the dramatic consequences and the devastating social and ecological repercussions for the people and place that followed. A contemporary, cautionary tale of paradise lost. Official Selection Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2024 - US Premiere
