Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Narrated by Chris Haywood, this second volume of the four volume series “Blood sweat and tears: Australians and sport”, includes the episodes: “Silvertails & yobbos” which investigates the gulf that exists between the public access areas at sporting venues and the areas reserved for members only - is it really only money that separates the “classes” today? “Beauty and the beast” focuses on the struggle for women against rigid atittudes to be equal in the sporting arena - to have their achievements recognised on the same level as male sporting achievements. “Blood and guts” looks at how a mere game can turn murderous - the increase in violence in sports, such as Australian Rules football, and the extraordinary jump in the number of serious injuries in recent years.
