Head First: Stem Cell Highway
8:30pm Wednesday, 16 July 2014 on ABC1
Head First returns for a second series and Sabour Bradley is back to take you on a wild ride into the outlandish lives of everyday Australians.
Welcome to the world of porn addiction, tailor-made bodies, stem cell tourists, ‘orphan’ traffickers, and Aussie-led paramilitary rangers at war with poachers in Africa. Armed with a sense of humour and a willingness to get involved in the action, Sabour takes you inside those worlds.
In the first episode, Stem Cell Highway, Sabour follows two Australian stem cell tourists to India as they put their life on the line in a desperate search for a miracle cure.
Jamie Ruggier is a 29-year-old drag racer from Sydney who is about to get married but has just lost the sight in his eyes, putting his career and family life in jeopardy.
And 39-year-old quadriplegic Perry Cross is a former rugby union player from the Gold Coast, who at 19 suffered a near fatal injury during a game and has been cheating death ever since.
