About this movie

All This Mayhem tells the story of brothers Tas and Ben Pappas, two boys from Melbourne who took the skateboarding world by storm, defeating Tony Hawk and crowned International World Champions within a year. Skateboarding came naturally to the Pappas brothers, but success was a different story. In this unflinching, never-before-seen account we witness the dark consequences of Tas and Ben’s rapid success, their intense fraternal bond and their journey from the pinnacle of their sport into a downward spiral of self-destruction. From the makers of award-winning documentaries Exit Through the Gift Shop and Senna, and featuring fascinating interviews, first person accounts and archival footage, All This Mayhem is a searing account of what happens when raw talent and extreme personalities collide and tells of a tragedy too incredible to believe. 2013 Pank & Martin Pty Ltd.

Saw this at the premiere with Tas Pappas present. It was exciting for me as I was a teenage skater in the 80' & early 90's so the old footage brought back a lot of memories. Me and a few mates would regularly catch a train to skate at Prahran where most of the Aussie footage takes place. This doco offers some real insight into the skate industry at that time but also the downward spiral of Ben Pappas through drugs and depression is compelling and at the same time heart wrenching.

Still can't work out if I love or hate these guys. Amazing Aussie story. Just watch it.

compelling - protagonists both noble and flawed to the max. You might either feel empathy or distaste but will be completely involved
