Between the Lines: The True Story of Surfers and the Vietnam War plot

'Between the Lines' explores the Vietnam War through the prism of the surfing subculture. The dramatic effect the Vietnam War had on the young American men who surfed the wild waves as a hobby. It also tracks the choices most conscript surfers faced during this war era. It was one or the other: either go to war or avoid conscription. Two surfers, Pat Farley and Brant Page, choose completely opposite paths. As we follow these young men through their lives, we see the impact of their choices on their lifestyle and hobby. From the tranquil shores of Hawaii to the sky-high jungles of Vietnam, 'Between the Lines' mines the surf culture's response to exceptional circumstances.
