The Bra Boys, a documentary produced by
surfer Sunny Abberton and narrated by Russell Crowe, has been a smashing success
in its native Australia. It's now arriving in the USA. The Bra Boys are an Australian
surf tribe in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra. Members of the group often tattoo "Bra Boys" and Maroubra's post code "2035" on their backs. As the documentary was being finished Sunny's brother Jai was arrested for killing a local thug and dumping his body off a cliff; his other brother Koby, a world class surfer, was arrested for lying to cover up the shooting. Jai was acquitted for reason of self defense and Koby received a suspended sentence. For the Bra Boys surfing is an escape from a grim urban landscape and their gang acts as an extended family.
