Year of the Dogs (1998x6)

Data emisji: Lis 21, 1998

Michael Cordell's film about an Australian-rules football team's struggle to triumph over adversity. The Footscray Bulldogs, whose ground is based in a rundown Melbourne suburb, have the odds stacked against them in several ways. Their difficulties - they last won a tournament in 1954, have injury problems and a chronic scoring record, and are facing near-bankruptcy - are compounded by the threat of a takeover which could see them merged with another team.
