Craig Foster - Why sport can save lives

Description

Imprisoned and being tortured, footballer Hakeem al-Araibi was at the mercy of the Bahraini government. But after former Socceroo Craig Foster led a national campaign that involved foreign ministers, Thai prisons and the heads of FIFA, Hakeem was set free. 

In freeing Hakeem though, Craig put himself, his reputation and his family at risk. Luke Darcy aims to explore that situation, analyse how Craig made that call, and understand what it meant to balance the life of Hakeem, with the safety of his own family.
