Warnings
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
Footy: The La Perouse Way is the story of a small Aboriginal community located in bustling multicultural Sydney.
It is the journey of a community, whose beginnings were marked by racial division and the suffering it brought. It is about that community embracing football as a starting point to put these historic differences behind it, and forging what has now become a unique and prosperous mix of black and white cultures. Cultures that are working together side-by-side in all aspects of life, with respect, honour, integrity and trust.
