“The Cigarette Surfboard” will have its official World Premiere at Canada’s longest running documentary film fest, NorthwestFest International Documentary Festival, at the Metro Cinema in Edmonton, Canada! After a young designer realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards become a platform to spark ocean stewardship and the symbol of a campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic waste.
