Would you squeeze your way into a shoulder-width, pitch-dark stormwater drain to rescue a kid as it flooded? Would you knowingly cop a 20,000 volt electric shock to save a friend and his child? Would you swim out from the beach to rescue a man bitten by a five-metre white pointer, while the shark is still circling him?
Mark Whittaker follows men and women in amazing acts of bravery and then the long aftermath as they deal with an array of issues from guilt to post-traumatic stress that were the furthest things from their minds when they made that split-second decision to risk their life for someone else's.
