WORLD PREMIERE & AUSSIE TOUR: ‘SOMEWHERE NEAR TAPACHULA'
54 Mexican Kids, 37 Surf Boards, 2 Australian Parents The Inspiring True Story of the Aussie Couple Changing the Lives of Orphans and Street Kids in Tapachula Mexico, through Surfing!
Somewhere Near Tapachula is the heartfelt true story of Australian couple Alan and Pam Skuse. And the unique surf community of orphaned, abused and homeless Mexican children - a refuge called Mision Mexico, they pioneered in Tapachula Chiapas on south coast of Mexico. Directed and produced by Australian filmmakers Stefan Hunt and Jonno Durrant of Surfing 50 States, the film premiers in Sydney on 25th February 2010 at Dendy Opera Quays and will tour for 20 screenings around Australia. The Skuses and the kids of Mision Mexico, tell their phenomenal tale of survival, love, life, hope, surfing - and of the first wave riders of Tapachula! Documenting the stories of the 54 children of Mision Mexico, who have come from places of unimaginable poverty, trauma and abuse; and their experiences of healing and transformation through surfing and love.
The filmmakers, Aussie surfers Stefan Hunt and Jonno Durrant got involved in Mision Mexico when they were asked to donate a DVD of their new documentary Surfing50States. Moved by the children's plight Stefen decided to volunteer for two months. Touched by the truly inspirational story, Stefen asked Jonno to join him with their camera equipment and Somewhere Near Tapachula was born. "We were so touched and inspired by the amazing work of Pam and Alan Skuse, that I felt the story had to be shared. We are thrilled to be telling this remarkable story to fellow Australians" says Stefan Hunt & Jonno Durrant. In celebration of the World Premier, opening night audiences are being treated to taste the delicious flavours of authentic Mexican fare Guzman Y Gomez, Sydney's legendary Taqueria. Founder Steven Marks is a strong supporter of Mision Mexico and is funding the Sydney screenings, as part of Guzman Y Gomez's mission to give back to the Mexican community and economy, and to educate Australians about Mexican culture.
