Product Overview
In 2019, two documentaries on former Aussie Rules footballer Adam Goodes hit the big screen, each taking vastly different approaches to chronicling the abuse endured by the Indigenous player prior to his retirement. As complementary texts, the films – directed by Ian Darling and by Daniel Gordon, respectively – offer factual and emotive accounts of race relations in contemporary Australian sport and beyond, writes Travis Johnson.
