Over deze 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.

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.

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
