Teahupo'o my LoV

Teahupo'o my LoV dives into the unfolding story of Teahupo’o, Tahiti, as it prepares to host the 2024 Olympic surfing events. The documentary captures the local community's response to new infrastructure projects, especially a controversial judge’s tower, and the environmental challenges that follow. After severe floods hit the village—an event that many link to recent construction—the residents raise concerns about the impact on their land and way of life. Through conversations with villagers, environmental advocates, and Olympic organizers, the film reveals a deeper struggle between preserving Polynesian traditions and adapting to the pressures of hosting a global event. It is a story of resilience, cultural pride, and the community’s fight to maintain balance between progress and their cherished heritage. Official Selection 2024: Surf Film Festival Anglet.
