Over 150 years ago, 13 brave Aboriginal men in Western Victoria picked up their cricket bats and embarked on a treacherous voyage to England and into the unknown - all in the name of sport. Risking illness and persecution, Australia's first international cricket team - including Australia's first Indigenous sporting hero, Johnny Mullagh - amazed the English crowds with astonishing talent, personality and grit. They should have returned to Australia as celebrated heroes. Instead, they came back to find the world they once knew was no longer there.
This is not just a story about cricket - this is a story of strength, resistance, hope and possibility.
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander audiences are advised that this show contains depictions of people who have died.
