Mick Fanning: From shark attack victim to shark advocate

From Sunday Morning, 9:37 am on 13 September 2020

Three-time world surf tour champion Mick Fanning will forever be known as the man who fought off a great white shark while competing on live television in 2015 at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa. Almost two years to the day later, he was pulled from the same water while competing after an even bigger shark was sighted. Now, the Australian sporting icon is conquering his fear of sharks in his new National Geographic documentary, Save This Shark!
