Flicks is pleased to announce a Winter Season of special films. The first film of the Winter Season is Bustin Down the Door and will be screening on Friday the 8th of May. The film profiles the struggles of surfers in the 1970's to get the sport recongised as a professional sport.

During the winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to its core. A group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed everything and put it all on the line to create a sport, a culture, and an industry that is today worth billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world. With a radical new approach and a brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed headlong into a culture that was not ready for revolution.

Surfing was never to be the same again.
