Whitewash, a documentary that focuses on African American surfers, will be released on DVD and VOD on October 4, 2011.
The film, which is narrated by Ben Harper and Tariq Black Though of The Roots, reportedly “explores the history of rarely detailed surfing culture within the African American community, told from the POV of black surfers from Hawaii, Jamaica, Florida, and California.,” according to a story on Indiewire.
And yes, the film features Sal Masekela, who (if you saw him surf during the US Open of Surfing) is ripping right now.
