Valutazioni e recensioni

An extremely well-constructed documentary which reveals the enormous extent of bullying that Adam Goodes was subjected to towards the end of his career. Despite how high profile this story was in the media at the time, I don’t think the majority of us realised just how extreme the degree of harassment was. The story of what went down is pieced together here in a way that is both engaging and heartbreaking. Adam Goodes is an extraordinary human being who demonstrated himself to be incredibly poised, articulate and compassionate in circumstances few of us could endure without it breaking us.

Defining documentary about how ignorant and privileged media characters play a big role in the shaping and breaking of a sports person image, because of being proud of their Aboriginality..

Accurate and unbiased. Everyone should watch. Had the pleasure of meeting Adam once, a truly great person.
