Born into slavery in Maryland probably in 1820, Harriet Tubman first escaped to the North herself, before becoming the best-known escape guide, going by the codename “Moses”, on the Underground Railroad. Clarissa meets her on her legendary bid for freedom, which was both daring and calculated. In today’s Boston she meets 14-year-old Sofia, who at the age of six sent a letter to Barack Obama that spawned the movement Women On 20s.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) The Australian Dream Goodes: The Australian Dream chronicles Adam Goodes’ life and the national conversation that took place after he was racially vilified during a 2013 AFL match. An abusive slur by a young girl during the AFL's annual Indigenous Round, and Goodes’ request that she be removed from the stadium, quickly became the subject of talkback radio and newspaper commentary. Over the following years Goodes was repeatedly and loudly booed by opposition fans at most matches. The issue of booing generated wide public debate and dominated media coverage from both sports and political commentators and intensified in May 2015 after Goodes celebrated a goal by performing an indigenous war dance as an expression of indigenous pride. Owing to the stress caused by these overt expressions of racism Goodes - a dual Brownlow Medalist, member of the Indigenous Team of the Century, and Australian of the Year (2014) retired from the game. Written by Stan Grant this is the story of race and of belonging. Beginning on January 26 (Australia Day) the film will be an exploration of what it means to be Australian through the eyes of two Indigenous role models who have had to learn what their identity means to them, and to their country. The film documents a politically and socially naïve young man for whom sport was a perfect vehicle for assimilation, but one that led to a great awakening. Goodes was emboldened through his success to embrace an identity that would tragically become the cause of vilification and retreat. The documentary looks at where this journey has brought both Goodes and Grant; it is about hope for reconciliation, both personal and political.
