Walking on Water.

Many are familiar with the famous Inkwell destination of Martha’s Vineyard, but America also has another beach with a similar history — in Los Angeles. From the 1900s — 1960s African Americans found leisure and community in a stretch of Santa Monica beach around Bay Street sometimes called “The Inkwell”. Today, a cohort of educators and sports enthusiasts are reconnecting Black + Brown LA youth to their heritage at the beach through the power of surfing. Directed by Rhasann Nichols, this documentary was the winner of the Arizona State University Global Sport Institute Race and Sport Around The Globe Short documentary competition and premiered at The 2019 RSF Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival.
