Professional big wave surfer, Frank Solomon, and well known beer brand Corona, have joined forces with waste-pickers to highlight the global plight of plastic pollution by producing a thought-provoking documentary that aims to educate viewers of the important role they play in the waste cycle.

“Street Surfers” has already received global attention and is on the official selection list for a variety international film festivals.

This short documentary follows Solomon’s journey to Joburg to meet Thabo Mouti and Mokete Mokete, who indirectly serve the environment through recycling as a means of income.
