It was fitting that he was dubbed ‘The People’s Champ’. However
behind the smile he wrestled mental health issues and drug addiction.
His inner circle knew about it and rumours swirled, but it was never
openly reported in the media until his death.
Andy Irons - Kissed By God is a film about bipolar disorder and opioid
addiction as seen through the life of this three-time world champion
surfer. He was the pride of Hawaii and revered around the world for
his spectacular rise to fame and success. However, many were unaware
of his internal battles that led to his demise. Andy struggled with
the same demons that millions of people worldwide battle with daily.
As the opioid crisis grows around the world, and the stigma of mental
health issues is more frequently addressed, the untold story of
Andy’s life serves to tear down the myths associated with these two
ferocious diseases.
