'After Bali' is Jason McCartney's account of how his life - and those of many thousands touched by the Bali bombing of 12 October 2002 - was changed forever. His story is one of humanity overcoming adversity.
McCartney is a normal young Australian, who happened to have an abnormal talent to play Australian Rules football. He was thrust into the hearts and minds of all Australians through his courageous fightback from burns to fifty per cent of his body. His story is told in a matter-of-fact way, but is full of the spirit that saw him not only survive, but make a comeback to the AFL. He has become a true representative of Australian courage.
