Us Deadly Mob (2005)
Synopsis
Us Deadly Mob is a short documentary about an Indigenous family of surfers – a 'surf family story’.
Curator’s notes
The surf movie genre began in the 1960s when surfing began to take a foothold as a lifestyle and sport on the eastern coast of Australia. Indigenous participation in surfing is not a well-known fact but, as we see in this short documentary from filmmaker Samia Goudie, Indigenous surfing is, for some, a family legacy. There are interviews with the Mercy family who are a family of surfers, as well as some archival photographs and footage of past surfers. Surfing the Healing Wave (1999) is a longer documentary on similar territory, based around the Indigenous surfing contest at Fingal.
