Bodyline: The Ultimate Test (ATOM Study Guide)

This is the story of one of the most well known but perhaps least understood moments of conflict and controversy in the history of sport: the infamous Bodyline test cricket series of 1932/1933 between Australia and England.

Self-confessed cricket tragic and comedian Adam Zwar will try to discover what happened at the crease and chart the wider social and cultural implications of the controversy by enlisting historians, sports scientists and cricket stars to simulate the actual events.

The documentary would be suitable for secondary students across a number of curriculum areas, including Health and Physical Education, Australian Studies, Humanities, Cultural Studies and Media Studies.
