Soraya Simi is a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and writer. Her work focuses primarily on themes surrounding human resilience and the ocean. Soraya just returned from four months in Nazaré, Portugal, home to one of the biggest waves on the planet, a geomorphologic phenomenon, where she shared she was "deconstructing, and putting the pieces back together."

Soraya recently suffered a tragic loss, that of her friend Angela Madsen, who was a 3x Paralympian, 14x Guinness Book of World Records holder, Marine Veteran, World Renowned ocean rower, and she was aiming to be the oldest and openly gay woman to successfully row from Los Angeles to Hawaii, with no motor, unassisted. Solo.
