Cathy Freeman's win at Sydney 2000 is one of the greatest collective experiences in Australian modern history. Twenty years later, FREEMAN explores the beauty of this singular moment and celebrates the power of human connection. A cinematic portrait through Cathy's sporting career and the frenzied build-up to the 49 second iconic race. Cathy shares her experiences of racism and addresses the significance of her Olympic win for the Reconciliation movement for the first time. With insights from Cathy's mother, insiders and media commentators, the documentary gives previously unseen glimpses into a moment of rare intensity. Director and produced by Lonely Planet Television founder Laurence Billiet
