Synopsis
Like My Brother is an up close and personal portrayal of the lives of four Indigenous Australian girls from the remote Tiwi Islands, whose love for football propels them to dare to dream; to shatter conventions, tread uncharted territories, and shoulder the hope of a community in their pursuit to play in the AFLW. Filmed over six years, the documentary follows Freda, Jess, Julie, and Rina as they face the challenges of social and physical obstacles in their way. Their shared aspiration turns into a reality for some, but those lucky enough to realise their dream are quickly confronted by the profound cultural shift of relocating to Melbourne, to become elite athletes, playing for the Essendon Football Club. Throughout their journey, the players are tested by the delicate balance between their love for footy and the obligations to family and their community back home. Directed by Australian duo Sal Balharrie and Danielle MacLean, Like My Brother is a captivating documentary about the power of sport to act as a force for change and having the courage to chase a dream – ultimately defining success on your own terms.
