Narrated by acclaimed writer and director JOHN MILIUS (Apocalypse Now-Big Wednesday), BETWEEN THE LINES explores the Vietnam War through the prism of the surfing sub-culture. This documentary film offers unique insight into the dramatic effect that the Vietnam War and draft had on young American men who rode waves.
This film 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.
“This is the soil from which APOCALYPSE NOW grew out of; it’s as simple as that.”

– Drew Kampion, The Surfers Path
“You did a wonderful job and helped me to untie a few more knots. It sat with me all night.”
– John Prietto, Vietnam combat veteran & Army lifeguard
