'Let Them Eat Surf' explores the explosive, untold story of how the counterculture movement of surfing landed on the ancient shores of Southwest France. Starting with a single Frenchman's discovery of the sport, this documentary charts the wild, rebellious rise of the French surf scene in Biarritz and Hossegor. It details the era of beatniks, anti-heroes, and American draft dodgers who transformed the quiet coast into a haven for sex, rock 'n' roll, and a lucrative drug-smuggling operation that led to mass arrests. Finally, witness the transition from an outlaw lifestyle to a billion-dollar industry, and how the "perfect tubes" became tragically overcrowded.
