Fighting Fear (2011)
Coarse language and violence
| Director: | Macario De Souza |
| Actors: | Mark Matthews, Richie Vaculik |
Mark is a big wave surfer. He dreams of being the best. Richie, Mark's best mate, shares his love of big wave surfing but has his own ambitions of becoming a MMA cage fighting champion. Both are fearless, living life on the edge, daring each other to surf bigger waves, party harder and take greater risks. But when their adrenaline-seeking antics and hardened partying turns sour, it sets in motion a dramatic and life-changing series of events that threatens to derail everything they have worked so hard for. In an instant, Mark's big wave surfing career is in tatters and Richie is facing a jail term. But for these two friends, giving up is not an option. It's not the mistakes you make but how you overcome them. Their unwavering friendship gives them the courage to battle their demons, rise up from their troubled past and conquer their fears. One good friend can change your life...

I accidentally got this out but still watched it and I was surprised. Was a brilliant documentary even for those not into surfing, fighting or the Bra boys. I found it interesting.

A good Australian doco along the lines of "Bra Boys". The leads aren't particularly savory - charges of assault and the aggressive macho culture of Maroubra Beach are at the fore. But the shots of the big wave surfing are genuinely awesome and it seems that Richie's more aggressive behaviour has been tempered (let's hope) by a good women. Despite the film's focus on Mark, the big wave rider and cage fighter Richie, perhaps the real star of this film is the other Bra Boy in the equation: Macario De Souza for whom the film is an impressive debut. If you like your docos and sport, this one will appeal.
