This mini series covers two topics so important to Australia: acceptance of migrants & obsession with winning.
The acting is brilliant as we identify so well with a brilliant swimmer who has been given a scholarship to train at a school where white upper middle class privilege rules.
The challenges faced by the main character are so well told. We really get a sense of the devastation that winning or not winning, can hold in the world of competitive sport.
There are other issues explored including sexuality & the violence.
This is a brilliant series, exploring topics that Australia and other nations need to explore & resolve on a personal, educational & leadership level.
To accept others & value all people.
