SONOMA, CA — A special documentary screening of "Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable" will be presented tonight in Sonoma ahead of the 22nd annual Sonoma International Film Festival next month, organizers said.

The showing will start at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Sebastiani Theatre at 476 First St. E.

Hamilton was 13 years old when she lost her arm to a tiger shark as she was surfing, but she hasn't let that stop her from chasing her dream of being a professional surfer or from becoming a mother.
