Soul Surfer is a 2011 American drama film about the life of surfer
Bethany Hamilton
. At the age of thirteen, Hamilton lost her arm to a
shark attack
. The film details the events surrounding this attack and her struggle during the aftermath. The film is directed by
Sean McNamara
, who based the screen play on Hamilton's autobiography of the same name and on the filmmakers' interviews with the family. The title refers to a term coined in the 1960s to denote
someone who surfs purely for pleasure
, but the word soul has a double meaning as a reference to Hamilton's
Christian faith
, which helped her recover her surfing career after the attack.
AnnaSophia Robb
stars as Hamilton, and
Dennis Quaid
and
Helen Hunt
star as Hamilton's parents.
