<p>A documentary on Nasima Akter, Bangladesh's first woman surfer, sheds light on how the sport has become a way of expression in the conservative country</p>


Back in the 1990s, surfing was unheard of in Cox's Bazar, a fishing port in Bangladesh, home to the world's longest beach. That was until a foreigner visited the beach with a surfboard, and Jafar Alam, a local bought it. A self-taught surfer, Alam became a legend in his town. He also started teaching kids who would work on the beach all day.
