Better Angels (30x14)

:

Actor Samuel Johnson has just celebrated a milestone he never dreamed he'd reach. Love Your Sister, the charity he founded with his late sister Connie, recently hit the target of $20 million raised for cancer research. It's one of many remarkable feats Samuel has pulled off in his rollercoaster life. The actor-turned-advocate has broken the world unicycling record, won a Gold Logie playing music legend Molly Meldrum and more recently, survived a near-fatal road accident. Sam shot to fame at the age of 21 in the hit TV series The Secret Life of Us but his 20s and 30s were turbulent years. He lost loved ones to illness and suicide and battled mental illness and addiction. Now he's found new purpose in his work raising money for cancer research. We go on the road with Sam as he travels to halls, clubs and campsites from Queensland to Queanbeyan, raising money and speaking candidly about grief, love and self-acceptance.
