World-beating surfer who lost an arm as a teenager talks about the attack, her new film, and the frustration of fighting men for waves
Bethany Hamilton has no regrets. She tells the audience almost nonchalantly: “I lost my arm but I wouldn’t change it.”
It’s this kind of line that explains why the cinema hosting a Q&A session with one of the world’s best-known shark attack survivors is filled to bursting. “I had a sense of peace after the attack. Faith helped me through,” she says as a notably young crowd looks on. “Adult me is like: ‘Whoa how did I do that?’ It was a childlike faith.”
