Krakouer!

by Reg Cribb in collaboration with Sean Gorman, author of Brother Boys

Mount Barker's most famous sons, Jim and Phil Krakouer took the Australian football world by storm in the early 1980s. Their unique and anarchic brand of football, dubbed 'black magic', captured the imagination of the nation.

Interwoven with video footage of the Krakouers at their best, this is the story of the challenges they faced as indigenous footballers in their rise to the top of their game. It celebrates their skill, daring and resilience both on and off the sporting field, while acknowledging the controversy and adversity that has met them throughout their lives.

From the acclaimed writer of Last Cab to Darwin (GPAC 2004).
