The Bay Area is well represented with film students from Stanford, SF State and SOTA High School and stories that remind us of the San Bruno explosion, the struggle to save the Hand of Peace, the drought and the power of Cumbia.

Non-profit, Earn the Day, was first created in memory of a friend who was lost in the ocean - with the initial aim being to teach children ocean safety skills. Their mission has grown to be much more. They partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco to create a mentorship program for the city's underserved youth. Each child and their mentor work together to create goals and work together on achieving these goals. Every three months these kids are rewarded with an outdoor event exposes them to unique experiences that they normally would not be able to enjoy. This film documents their first experience - surfing!
