Brief Explanation

“Don’t Believe In Never: Aliir Aliir” tells the story of a young Sudanese boy’s journey from a Kenyan refugee camp to playing for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League. Aliir Aliir talks of his lifelong love of sport and how footy helped him integrate at his new Australian school, despite speaking almost no English. Although Aliir was overlooked in the 2012 AFL rookie draft, he doubled his efforts and in 2013 was selected at number 44 – becoming the first ever Sudanese player to be picked in the national draft.
