Empire Magazine
Gentle, touching and beautifully captured, this is the best surfing documentary since Riding Giants and a personal, genuinely painful true-life drama set on the brink of childhood's end. Discover it.

Rating: 3/5 --
The sun-kissed footage of the kids seizing the opportunity to escape from the hardships of their home lives may not be particularly spectacular, but their stories are laced with poignancy.

Rating: 3/5 --
This is not your ordinary movie about young men surfing the waves in places like Rio.
London Evening Standard
4 stars out of 5 -- Gorgeously lensing sea, skin and sun, director/co-writer Justin Mitchell slides between a series of startling contrasts....Like the greatest sports movies, RIO BREAKS is bigger than the sport it celebrates.

Product Description:
Two adolescent surfers from the slums of Rio find their friendship falling victim to life in the crime-ridden favela. Fabio is 13; his best friend Naama is twelve. When they're out riding the waves on Arpoador Beach, everything is great. Back up on the hill, however, the pressure of poverty weighs heavily on their friendship. Lately, Naama has fallen in with a bad crowd. Surfing was supposed to be a means for the two friends to escape the ghetto, but every day, Naama only seems to faller deeper into a tragic cycle of violence and crime.
