Watch: The Australian Dream 2019 123movies, Full Movie Online – Adam Goodes became an inspiring figure in Australian Rules football. Raised by his single Aboriginal mother, he found a sense of belonging and connection in sport. In 2013, at the top of his game, he was the center of a huge racist row when a 13-year-old girl called him an ‘ape’ in the middle of a game and he had her ejected from the stadium. What ensued was a shocking backlash of vilification and blunt racism against the football star. Drawing upon Adam Goodes’s personal story, Australia’s dark colonial past and its treatment of the Aboriginal population, director Daniel Gordon has crafted a powerful and timely examination of race, identity and belonging that resonates far beyond the football pitch..
Plot: AFL legend Adam Goodes shares the story of his life and career to offer a deeper insight into race, identity, and belonging.

A good movie worthwhile seeing – 7/10
The Australian Dream is a good movie worthwhile seeing – 7/10. The segments of the movie relating the Adam Goodes story were excellent and gave both sides of a divisive issue. I felt that too much time was devoted to the diatribes of Andrew Bolt and the preachings of Stan Grant. The latter was inevitable given that Stan Grant wrote it and was determined to have his say. In fact, he said a whole lot too much in the final 10 minutes as the movie began to focus more on Stan Grant’s beliefs than on the Adam Goodes issues. The TV special shown in Australia, The Final Quarter, covered pretty much all of the Adam Goodes story with pretty much the same footage without having to listen as much to Andrew Bolt and Stan Grant, whose rantings detracted from the impact of The Australian Dream. As I said, it’s a good movie worthwhile seeing – but not unmissable.
Insightful & Powerful
Having very little prior knowledge of AFL, aboriginal history, or racism within Australia, this documentary film offered a great insight into the personal journey of Adam Goodes in this context. I would recommend this to sports fans especially, as we consider crowd behaviour, but in present times I think it is a worthwhile watch for anyone.
