A good TV movie worthwhile seeing
23 August 2019
The TV special shown in Australia, The Final Quarter, was a documentary developed by Australian filmmaker Ian Darling detailing the events surrounding the final playing years of champion AFL footballer Adam Goodes, during which opposing teams' supporters began booing him with increasing animosity. The movie attempts valiantly to avoid taking sides, instead showing various points of view presented by a range of commentators between 2013 - 2015, both supportive and critical. It is a good movie worthwhile seeing. A movie written by Stan Grant, The Australian Dream, which was released shortly afterwards, is also a good movie worthwhile seeing for a different perspective. However, as a review of both sides of a divisive issue, The Final Quarter is considerably shorter and manages to cover the main issue quite adequately and more succinctly.
