Using sport in schools to address racism

When Jamal Elsheikh was a child in Turkey, he was a victim of a racially fuelled attack, which almost cost him his life. Now living in Melbourne, he is tackling racism and social inequality in schools, with a program that shows how sport can bring people together. And he's hoping the recent success of the Socceroos can help drive the discussion even further.
