Australia, 1970s. The Kelly brothers, Andy (28) and Jimmy (22), have
one great passion: riding big waves. As kids, their mother escaped from
Sydney to Margaret River, a sleepy coastal town with some of the world's
most challenging and dangerous waves. For the next 12 years, the boys
perfected their surfing skills, always searching for the perfect ride.
Free-spirited Jimmy is a gifted surfer and innovator but he starts to
slip toward a life of crime to help the family out of debt. Andy makes a
big decision. Quitting a
stable job, he bets on Jimmy's surf inventions and his own business
skills and launches a backyard surf gear business.
Set in breathtaking locations and inspired by the true story of
Australia's legendary surfwear moguls, the film chronicles the rise of
surf brands and the expansion of the laidback surf attitude as a global
lifestyle. A story of passion and corruption, friendship and loyalty,
deadly addictions and fractured relationships, Drift tells a tale of
courage and the will to survive against all odds.(c) Official Site

Driven by the remote Yolngu of Northeast Arnhem Land, one of the last strongholds of traditional Aboriginal culture in Australia, as well as the voices of national indigenous leaders, historians and human rights activists, the film explores the ongoing clash of cultures that is threatening to wipe out the oldest continuing culture in the world.

He discovers that a dog is sick and may have to be put down, but he can't understand why everyone's so concerned about it. The locals, including barman Jack, NOAH TAYLOR, tell him the story of the dog - how it was first seen some years earlier, how it hitched rides with people it liked and how it eventually attached itself to an American, John Grant, JOSH LUCAS, who soon after fell in love with Nancy, RACHAEL TAYLOR, who worked as a secretary for the mining company.
