Über diesen Film

Given is the simple yet powerfully contemplative story of a unique family legacy come full circle. Told through the visceral experience of a 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations. Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy’s understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature. Deeply moving, Given offers us the humbling contrast of a small voice voyaging through a big world as it finds its way home again.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Such a beautiful film, Given is a very thoughtful narrator. Stunning locations, stripped back travel experiences, a film that really shows how to live differently with a young family. Highly recommended

The way this film was shot and the narration reminded me of The Tree of Life. This movie has put me in such a good place, I hope it does the same to other people.

So, so beautiful. Never fails to lift my spirits and re-awaken what I find truly meaningful in life.
