Riding Giants, Stacy Peralta's surfing sequel to his Sundance debut and award winner, Dogtown and Z-Boys, is a multi-generational insider's look at the origins of surfing, the colorful and subversive birth of surf culture, and the mythology and lure of the "big wave." This passionately fluid film is the first authentic history of surfing from its humble Hawaiian beginnings to the big business it became to the still-rebellious waves it breaks today.

The year is 1907 when musicologist Doctor Lily Penleric journeys to the Appalachian mountains to visit her sister. She soon discovers the emotional folk songs of Scotland and Ireland that have been preserved and passed down through generations of this secluded community. Determined to document this history, she immerses herself in mountain life, falls in love with a local musician, and is profoundly changed by the unsung world of the mountain people.
