Breaking Waves, Building Dreams: The NASIMA Campaign

Hosted by: Shirin Aryanpour & Geno La Placa

June 16, 2025

An intimate event featuring screening highlights from the award-winning documentary NASIMA and the launch of The NASIMA Campaign, to support the community from which it came. A film not just about preserving Nasima's legacy. It's about fueling it.

As Rashed says in the movie, “We are all a chain." Let this evening be the backbone of this initiative to amplify the film's reach and transform Nasima’s dream into a tangible reality: building a surf club and the ability for girls to access lifesaving training (and potentially employment!), build community, and inspire.

View the film trailer and learn more about the Nasima Campaign. Support the NASIMA Campaign with a one-time or monthly donation.
