The Shallows, Death of a Legend

The Shallows
For a lot of Australians the best way to cool down after a busy week is a dip at the beach. It was certainly Mani Zhang's thinking one Friday afternoon last month. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny, but as Mani swam in the shallows, just a few metres off shore, out of nowhere a massive bull shark attacked her. Her leg was mauled so savagely, and there was so much blood loss, that she should have died. But as Dimity Clancey discovers, a remarkable will to live, as well as the unbelievable bravery of a passer-by, means Mani is now one very thankful survivor.

Death of a Legend
In Hollywood, Gene Hackman was a titan. A truly great actor, he captivated audiences, starring in 80 movies and winning two Oscars. But Gene was also smart enough to know when to call time on his career. Twenty years ago, battling health issues, he and his wife Betsy moved to New Mexico for a more private and peaceful life. In typical Hackman style he faded from view with little fanfare. That is until two months ago when he and Betsy were found dead inside their home under mysterious circumstances. Speaking with some of the couple's closest friends, Tara Brown reports that the tragedy of what happened, along with the final weeks of Gene's life, is wrenching. Even though he could never know it, it's also one of the most important stories Gene Hackman was ever involved in.
