clip Introducing Fred Hollows

Original classification rating: PG. This clip chosen to be PG

Clip description

A quick film portrait of Australia’s famous eye surgeon, using a montage of archival media coverage from the time when Hollows was made Australian of the Year.

Curator’s notes

A clever use of audio in particular to give a condensed history of Hollows, and a sense of the breadth of the media interest in him.
