This World - Season 1 Episode 15 The Boy from the Block ()

On 15 February this year Aboriginal teenager Thomas "TJ" Hickey died from an injury his family claim was sustained after being chased by a police patrol in a rundown area of Sydney. Hickey's death sparked some of the worse race riots ever seen in Australia, with scores of youths fighting running battles with police near Sydney city centre. With unique access to the family of the boy, reporter David Akinsanya investigates why Aboriginals have disastrously failed to integrate into their own country, and why so many white Australians have a negative stereotype image of their indigenous neighbours. Director/Producer Guy Smith
