“Andy Irons: Kissed By God” is a documentary film that focuses on the true, untold story of one of the world’s most prolific surfers. It’s a film about bipolar disorder and opioid addiction as seen through the life of three-time world champion surfer. The intent of the film is to show the unfiltered life of Andy Irons, one that was filled with energy, passion, success, and challenges. Challenges that pushed Andy to the brink and were both the best parts of Andy and the hardest to handle. The film features in-depth interviews with Andy’s brother, Bruce; his wife, Lyndie; Joel Parkinson, Nathan Fletcher, Sunny Garcia and Kelly Slater. This is not a film about surfing, but about a person that lived life to its fullest at the top of his industry, but did so facing insurmountable internal challenges. As the opioid crisis rises to a national emergency in the United States, the untold story of Andy’s life serves to tear down the myths associated with these two ferocious diseases. Viewer Discretion Advised: This film contains strong language and content.  Presented in partnership with Eastern Surfing Association.
