Series 5, Episode 3: Adam Goodes

Adam Goodes is a former Australian Football League player of Aboriginal descent. He became a controversial figure in Australia following a racist incident against him during a AFL game.

After that, he faced taunts and boos from AFL crowds, which ignited a race row across Australia.

He’s now left the sport and is a private businessman but continues his anti-racism advocacy.

His story is now being told in a new documentary called ‘The Australian Dream’, which explores what Adam’s experience shows about modern day Australia.

The Australian Dream will be released digitally on 12th June.  www.theaustraliandream.co.uk
