Adam Goodes

Australian of the Year Adam Goodes’s hunger to uncover his Aboriginal heritage is fuelled by a tragic family event. His mother, Lisa Sansbury was placed in state care as a young child and never returned to her parents. She grew up with no knowledge of her Aboriginal ancestry and has very little family history to pass on to Adam. Now, he wants to fill that void and finally find a way of connecting to the traditional culture that his ancestors once lived and breathed. His quest will see him unearth a royal bloodline, find a mysterious millionaire mining magnate in his family tree and see him journey deep into the remote Flinders Ranges of South Australia.
