The Australian Dream will follow hot on the heels of the Sydney film festival’s screening in June of The Final Quarter, a documentary by Ian Darling, also about Goodes’ career and the moment the Swans player became the flashpoint for a national conversation about racism.
The Australian Dream premieres at Melbourne international film festival on 1 August and will go on to national release on 22 August.
Goodes has given The Final Quarter his support even though he didn’t play a part in its making.
The Final Quarter is premiering at the Sydney film festival on 7 June and is set to be broadcast on Australian TV later this year.
