註釋The NT Thunder Football Club's historic premiership victory in 2011 was over 20 years in the making, inspired by the feats of champions from the 1980s who had long campaigned for a team of their own to compete in a State League competition.But the challenges for this newly-formed club were far from over. Its' formative years were rife with tragedies stemming from the effects of living in a territory with the highest youth suicide rate in Australia, and more than half of their Indigenous population falling into the lowest quintile for socio-economic disadvantage.Two years after the club was formed, it was announced a 15 million dollar centre would be built in Darwin to further talent identification, health, and leadership through education and sport.NT Thunder became an organisation born from the dreams of those who came before them, inspired by the power of unity and mateship, and responsible for providing life-changing opportunities for people across the Northern Territory.Sobering, enlightening and inspiring, Gods of Thunder is a true battler story of defiance against the odds, and harnessing a passion for Australian football to create better lives extending well beyond the sidelines.
