Ep. 56: Director Todd Jones of Teton Gravity Research discusses Andy Irons: Kissed By God

Teton Gravity Research's latest film, Andy Irons: Kissed by God, is bold in ways you might not expect for a documentary featuring the famously fearless three time world surf champion who died in 2010 at age 32. The documentary goes to a challenging space that many of the bravest in the extreme sports will not go - an open discussion of mental illness and opioid addiction with of its own. Todd Jones, the film's co-director and co-founder of TGR brings us into the three year journey of making the film and how the access and honesty the Irons family provided became a process of healing in itself. Andy Irons: Kissed by God will be in theaters nationwide on May 31st only. Find a theater near you: https://www.tetongravity.com/films/andy-irons-kissed-by-god/tour
