*Synopsis | His Finest Hour (2013)*
For Sapper Curtis McGrath, his finest hour was also his worst. It came on a barren hill in Afghanistan when a landmine blew off his legs while on patrol. At first, everything went black but then Curtis came to, and being the group's medic, he directed the emergency treatment that saved his own life. Curtis is one of 249 young Australians who've been seriously wounded in Afghanistan. His story stands out not because he lost his legs but the way he's adapting to his new ones. Doctors might tell Curtis to take it easy, but that's just not in his nature.
