Australian Story

The Big Lap (29x29)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 28, 2024

In memory of much-loved TV personality Fiona MacDonald, Australian Story revisits her 2023 episode, which followed her and her sister Kylie's "Thelma and Louise"-style road trip around Australia to raise awareness of motor neurone disease. Fiona had been diagnosed with the disease in 2021, at the age of 64, and had been advised not to make the trip but she was determined to make the most of her time left. When Fiona died earlier this month, her sister Kylie posted a final message from Fiona on Instagram, which ended with the words, "I carry your love and laughter with me and hope you'll remember mine." This encore screening is in honour of that memory.
