Between the Lines
Joe 02.03.10
For some reason last night I ended up on youtube watching clips from Vietnam movies, specifically Apocalypse Now. I ended up coming across the trailer for a DVD about soldiers who surfed during the Vietnam War. The DVD is called Between The Lines. Looks like it could be real good. It is narrated by John Milius who I believe was in Apocalypse Now
Synopsis:
BETWEEN THE LINES explores the Vietnam War through the prism of the surfing sub-culture. The film offers unique insight into the dramatic effect that the Vietnam War and draft had on young American men who rode waves.
Between the Lines explores the choice that most draft age surfers faced during the Vietnam War era: either go to war or evade the draft. It was one or the other. Between the Lines delves into the lives of two surfers who choose opposite paths. Pat Farley and Brant Page.
While following the lives of these two surfers the film chronicles the impact of the Vietnam War on the surfing lifestyle. From the peaceful shores of Hawaii to the canopy jungles of Vietnam, Between the Lines excavates the surfing cultures response to an extraordinary circumstance.
