Bra Boys (2007)

Description

Narrated by Russell Crowe, BRA BOYS documents the cultural evolution of the infamous inner-Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra and the social struggle of its youth - the tattooed and much maligned surf tribe known as the Bra Boys. Central to the story are the lives of the Abberton brothers - Sunny, Koby, Jai and Dakato - one charged with murdering a Sydney stand-over man, another pursuing a professional surf career but charged as an accessory to murder, another trying to hold the family together and a young brother whose inheritance is his siblings' notoriety. Rare archival footage, incredible surf vision and intimate interviews combine to produce a powerful, heartfelt and exhilarating tale. BRA BOYS is a story of contracts involving against-the-odds success and probable failures and ultimately explores the legacy and hopes of this and the next generation of a uniquely Australian community. BRA BOYS is the most successful Australian documentary ever released.
