Black Summer

They are the videos that stopped the nation and stunned the world - images from the firegrounds capturing the ferocity of the bushfires that raged around Australia last summer. These videos have been viewed tens of millions of times, but who filmed them and how did their stories end? Black Summer brings you the people and the stories behind the heart-stopping footage seen around the world. A team of reporters and producers fanned out across the country to track down the Australians who found themselves in the centre of the firestorms. What emerges are incredible stories of survival, bravery and heartbreak. From the cabins of firetrucks driving into the inferno to families retreating to the beaches as the flames grew ever closer, these stories from the frontlines are both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
