Why Did Aussie Adventure Filmmaker Alby Mangels Disappear? (Australian Story)

Few adventurers ever captured the Australian imagination the way Alby Mangels did, and few vanished from public life so completely. In this Australian Story feature from the ABC, the team goes looking for the man behind the World Safari films and pieces together why one of the country's most famous wanderers quietly stepped away from the spotlight.

It is a thoughtful look back at a remarkable life on the road, the films that inspired a generation to pack a bag and go, and the very human story of what happens when the cameras finally stop rolling.
