From the co-director of Australia's highest grossing cinema documentary, 'Bra Boys', comes a story of two best mates (Mark Mathews and Richie 'Vas' Vaculik) chasing their dreams... and overcoming nightmares of the past.
Featuring some of the world’s most influential action sports athletes, including ten-time World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater, two-time World Surfing Champion Mick Fanning, big wave surfer Bruce Irons, three-time Women’s World Surfing Champion Steph Gilmore, and two-time UFC World Champion BJ Penn.
This feature-length documentary, filmed over three years, provides a unique insight into two world-class athletes and their personal challenges in sports with deadly consequences. They celebrate the highs, and survive the lows.
It’s not the mistakes you make, but how you overcome them.
