New Era Australia has released a video featuring AFL footballer Harry O’Brien in a frank interview about his encounters with racism. The video is shot overlooking Fitzroy’s commission flats, the scene of O’Brien’s first experience of Australia. Born in Brazil to a Brazilian mother and an African father, the footballer discusses incidences of racial abuse that he faced while playing sport as a kid, saying that he now has an opportunity to discuss injustices he’s witnessed and stand up against racism in sport.

Watch the video above. Part two of the video project is still to come.
