WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO WAWA?
A SUNDAY NIGHT SPECIAL INVESTIGATION
You might remember his face. Perhaps you recognise the name – Wawa.
Australian television viewers first met Wawa as a scared and sad six-year-old, living with a cannibal tribe in the remote Papuan highlands. The tribe believed the orphaned Wawa was a male witch and had marked him for death.

Australian television viewers were captivated by Wawa’s story. So was the media. Today Tonight even launched a failed rescue mission to remove the little boy from danger.
That was thirteen years ago, and the news cycle eventually moved on. Wawa was forgotten.
In a Sunday Night special investigation, correspondent Matt Doran ventured deep into the jungle to find out what happened to Wawa. The truth is more incredible than we ever imagined.
This edition of SUNDAY NIGHT: TRUE STORIES hosted by Melissa Doyle airs on Sunday at 8.30pm on Seven and 7plus. The show can be seen in Perth at 8:30pm on 7two.
