THREE INSPIRING VIDEOS // POLITICS + SPORT + EDUCATION

Australia has a federal election in less than a week. The following speech from Looking for Alibrandi by the character Jacob Coote is a favourite. We have important political issues to debate in Australia, but these are put into perspective when compared to problems in countries like Syria and Egypt. Jacob’s speech starts at 1:04. It is M15+ with some coarse language.


This is an inspiring video from the 1992 Olympics when a dad helped his son finish the race. I love it when he tells the officials to get out of the way. Olympics won’t allow embedding of videos so you can watch it here. It’s also worth reading the description.
