'FREEMAN' is a cinematic portrait of the 49 second race that is still etched in our hearts and minds. Drawing on archival footage and a series of intimate conversations with Cathy Freeman, the film takes viewers on a journey through Cathy’s remarkable sporting career and the frenzied build-up to September 2000. It broadcast on the ABC to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Race.
‘FREEMAN’ was nominated for an AACTA Award in For Best Editing in Documentary.
