From money to drugs to his scandals including his 12-month ban from cricket and extramarital affairs, everything about Shane’s life is laid bare.

“Cricket was always my number one priority,” he confesses in the tell-all.

His ownership of his past failures and successes made him relatable and even more revered in the eyes of Australians, and his documentary dives deeper into those stories.
