Beauty and the Beast
Manu Vatuvei is a Tongan giant with a golden smile. This year
hasn't been the best for Warriors fans, but Vatuvei remains the
people's favourite. They call him The Beast. He is a bulk of a man
who strikes fear in the hearts of the opposition. But there's
nothing scary about him off the field. The world's greatest rugby
league winger opens his home to 20/20. And we discover a family
man, humble to the core, with a heart of gold.
Twisted Terror
Get ready to be blown away by this twisted terror. One witness
called it "a rolling black monster of death". Thanks to incredible
amateur video footage, you will meet an indiscriminate killer. It
is testimony to the frightening power of nature and the enduring
power of the human spirit. We take you inside a twisted killer.
Coming-out
Breaking free from the shackles of autism. This is the most
remarkable coming out event we've ever seen. A little girl is
unable to speak a word or connect to the world in any way. Her
family, friends and caregivers thought she was incapable of
understanding the simplest of instructions. Then, she turned 11 and
something remarkable happened. The little girl typed the word
"hurt" and then "help". Suddenly she could connect with the outside
world and break free from her own body.
In sickness and health
The marriage vow says you love each other in sickness and
health. But what if, right before your wedding, your fiance's body
started locking up and stiffening like a board. What if they became
so helpless you had to carry them around? Would you stay? This is a
bizarre medical mystery wrapped in a beautiful love story.
Hillbilly hellhole
