Unsuspected Great Story of Brotherhood & Freedom, 28 March 2007
8/10
Author: ogracer from Hong Kong

i have been out of Australia for several years and had not heard of the bra boys although i have been to maroubra beach as a young lifesaver in the early 90's.

this documentary unravels to reveal quite a moving story of the Abberton bros. their struggle growing up, their love of their family & friends, surfing formidable waves and ultimately their fight for freedom.

i enjoyed this documentary greatly and hope to see russell crowe involved in a movie based on these surfers lives.

highly recommended
