| Summary |
"At some point, most of us have wondered how we would react in a situation that required courage. Some people find out - and their reactions can range from being truly brave, to being foolhardy or paralysed with fear. Insight host Jenny Brockie talks to the courageous and the not so brave about why they reacted the way they did in some extreme situations. Insight's eclectic guest list includes a former SAS soldier, a plane crash survivor, an outspoken Liberal Party backbencher and two teenagers who recently risked their lives to save a drowning woman who'd attempted suicide. So what exactly is courage? Can it be learnt? Are some people just reckless or perhaps addicted to risk? And what about the downside of being courageous? Insight also investigates the 'bystander effect', talking to one woman who watched a violent scene unfold on a city street involving a gunman. The woman froze while others tried to help the victim. One of the helpers was shot and killed, another injured. So what went through the bystander's mind as she wrestled with what to do? And how does she feel now, knowing her inaction may have saved her life?"-- SBS Website |
