THE AUSTRALIAN DREAM (2019)
Starring Adam Goodes, Gilbert McAdam, Stan Grant and Nathan Buckley. Directed by Daniel Gordon.

A feature documentary that uses the remarkable and inspirational story of AFL legend Adam Goodes as the prism through which to tell a deeper and more powerful story about race, identity, and belonging. Using his own personal experience of events as well as other key figures involved, the film follows Goodes’ story, from his AFL career highlights in the Sydney Swans, through to the racist tumult of the crowd-booing and subsequent #istandwithadam movement, and to his reconnection with his indigenous culture and the land as a way to heal, this is an important film which will inspire conversation around racism in sport and in general, in our culture.
