Bethany’s story hit the silver screen on April 8, 2011. Hollywood producers were certainly correct – her comeback story makes good cinema. SOUL SURFER is the true story of competitive teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, inspiring millions worldwide through her sheer determination and unwavering faith.
