Description

It's a long, mad ride from Summer Bay!

Chicks, babes, cars and music; bored kids and shouting mothers; fathers that suck on a bottle to put themselves to sleep; and TV sets blaring mindlessly. Race tensions are hotting up in Marrickville and the media want a gang war so badly that they nearly start one.

As Mitch looks back on his time as former leader of the Tunderjets, he tells the searing story of a scene that, in some ways, no matter how hard you try, you can never leave.

Boyz 'r' Us explores these intense themes with gritty realism, capturing the challenges and struggles of youth in a raw and unforgettable way.
