AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'International rugby union star David Pocock and his partner Emma take Australian Story back to his homeland Zimbabwe where, as a child, dramatic events shaped the passion that drives him both on and off the field.

'At 27, David Pocock made headlines around the world for his stand-out performances with the Wallabies during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

'He's just as widely known for his commitment to effecting social and environmental change in Australia and Africa.

'It's now fifteen years since the Pococks fled their farm in Zimbabwe. That trauma has left a lasting impact on them all.

'In this television exclusive, David Pocock and his family share their rich archive of home movies, and speak candidly about their journey to become Australians.' (Publication summary)
