Video of the Week – From Millionaire to Bankrupt: The Rise Of Tony Spanos
If you don’t know Tony Spanos, you don’t know Bondi. Tony is somewhat of a legend in Scum Valley, and the bloke’s got more stories to share than you could possibly fathom.
He turned his attentions from the worldly concerns of a millionaire’s son to the concerns of those at the bottom of the economic rungs of Sydney’s society.
Through a direct engagement/hands on approach to trying to help bring a positive view of life to street kids, Tony’s unstinting commitment has taken him to the edge of bankruptcy and ostracism.
Originally produced as part of a CERTIFICATE IV In Screen, this documentary is about events that were current in 2008.
This edit hasn’t seen the light of day til now…
Tony, is such a legend.. we know him from his days fixing up old discarded bikes in his garage in Gould St, to give to the kids of Redfern. Like I said LEGEND!
