LA TUA VALUTAZIONE

From shy country kid to two-time Brownlow medallist and Australian of the Year, Goodes is an inspiration to many. The footy field was where he thrived; the only place where the colour of his skin was irrelevant. Goodes' world fell apart when he became the target of racial abuse during a game, which spiralled into public backlash against him. He spoke out about racism when Australia was not ready to hear the ugly truth, retiring quietly from AFL heartbroken.

Using the stunning athleticism of Goodes at the peak of his powers as well as the game itself as the film's backdrop, THE AUSTRALIAN DREAM prompts questions about Australia's relationship with racism and its ability to confront its own past. This compelling, provocative and cinematic film uses interviews from both sides of the debate to ask probing and fundamental questions about what it means to be Australian and what it takes for any individual to stand up for what they truly believe in. Featuring Goodes and all the key players from his story, including Grant, Michael O'Loughlin, Brett Goodes, Natalie Goodes, Tracey Holmes, Nova Peris, Nicky Winmar, Gilbert McAdam, Linda Burney, Paul Roos, John Longmire, Nathan Buckley, Eddie McGuire and Andrew Bolt, THE AUSTRALIAN DREAM is also a deeply personal and comprehensive exploration of Goodes' own journey which saw him retreat from everyday life only to return determined to rise above the ugliness he had been forced to confront.

The Australian Dream is something people reach for and many people obtain, but there's an emptiness at the heart of it because Australia has not resolved the questions of its history. If the Australian Dream is rooted in racism, what can be done to redefine it for the next generation?

Engrossing

This is a very engrossing documentary. Works very well on the telly (where I watched it) but I suspect not as much in the cinema. It really helps to understand the whole saga and the trauma experienced by Goodes. It should be used in schools.

Powerful and provocative

An immensely powerful and provocative documentary that poses some very timely and fundamental questions about what it means to live the Australian Dream and at the same time be part of truly tolerant and inclusive society.

INCREDIBLY POWERFUL

All Aussies should watch this movie. Beautifully produced and filmed. It's hard to watch at times. But if you don't learn something important, you're not listening.

Australians all we can't rejoice. We are not all free.

A must watch film for Australians. It is a national shame what indigenous Australians have been put through on the sporting field and beyond. We have so far to go. Adam Goodes and all those a part of this film thank you. We hope that the Australia your daughter grows up in will be a kinder more understanding country, that acknowledges our past & works to reconciliation.

Gutsy, Sorrowful and Brilliant

Powerful, gutsy, honest, brutal, uncompromising, completely distressing and utterly brilliant. Stan Grant wrote an incredible script. The edit blew me away - so detailed, so many cuts, seamless and fully emotive. I personally am more 'Australian' because of this film. Please go see this film - take friends with you - a story that is not going to go away.
