Adam Goodes is a former Australian Football League player of Aboriginal descent. He became a controversial figure in Australia following a racist incident against him during a AFL game.

 

After that, he faced taunts and boos from AFL crowds, which ignited a race row across Australia. 

 

He's now left the sport and is a private businessman but continues his anti-racism advocacy.

 

His story is now being told in a new documentary called 'The Australian Dream', which explores what Adam's experience shows about modern day Australia. 

 

You can also watch the interview on the Channel 4 News YouTube channel.

 

Warning: Strong and racially sensitive language. 

 

Producer: Rachel Evans
