Review of Bra Boys (2007) by Nadene R — 08 May 2009

A snapshot of Australia. A culturally important documentary that will probably mean more to us in decades to come. Created by the family it is documenting, there will naturally be some bias but also a depth that only insiders could bring.

This is a great home movie/subculture documentary. And the decision to begin with Australia's history, I believe was an important one. It depicts hope where there could be none. Beliefs from brotherhood.

And it begs the questions - What constitutes a gang? And what makes a family? Worth seeing, not to romanticise a tough life, but to understand.
