From the moment the shark attacked him, Chris was in a race against time. He should have died, but he didn’t. Many divine elements came together that day – friends, surfers, paramedics, doctors and nurses, even the shark itself – an unlikely string of events that somehow led to Chris’s survival from an event that should surely have killed him. This story is about him – and it’s about them. How a little coastal town in South Australia pulled together one terrifying, rainy Anzac Day to bring Chris Blowes back from the brink and give him a second chance. And it’s about how anyone person can open channels of growth and hope for others and the power of collective recovery.
