Snippet:
When multi-award-winning Sydney producer Dan Goldberg first approached the subject of the 2001 Tampa crisis for an ABC documentary, he did so as a “bleeding heart, small-l liberal”. A descendant of Jewish refugees who fled Russia at the turn of the 20th century, his work includes The Hunt for the Last Nazis and Passport to Hope, about a soccer program for Australian refugee children, for which he won the 2010 UN Human Rights Award for TV.
