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.
