Edition 316
Soccer – both professional and grassroots – has gone global. As the Homeless World Cup draws closer, we look at how soccer is changing people’s lives for the better.
Also in this issue:
‘Out of Sight’: An SBS documentary looks at what happens to the asylum seekers Australia rejects; Gaynor Flynn talks to artist-turned-director Steve McQueen about his debut feature Hunger, which explores Ireland’s troubled past; and in ‘Roving Eye’: Indigenous Australian artists focus on Indigenous people, and capture some powerful images.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ for this edition is Bob from Melbourne. We also have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from Gerald from Perth, Disco Dave from Melbourne, Marcus from Sydney and Jason B from SA, as well as a photo of Melbourne vendor George with celebrity gossip guru Nelson Aspen.
Watch Editor Alan Attwood introduce this edition at the vendors’ barbeque.
