Adam Goodes was one of the most beloved stars of the Australian Football League until he spoke out against racism. Then the nation turned on him. BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Dan Gordon (Hillsborough and George Best: All By Himself) takes us on a powerful and moving journey that has many parallels with what is happening in sport here in the UK, and shows us why words matter in this universal story of overcoming discrimination and prejudice.
