About the episode

It's been almost three months since one of the deadliest mass shootings in Australia's recent history... when 15 people were killed at Sydney's Bondi Beach. 43-year-old Syrian-born Australian tobacco shop owner Ahmed Al- Ahmed tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen, a moment caputred on a video which went viral around the world. He describes the incident as 'painful'. He was shot multiple times while tackling the attacker, undergoing surgery for his injuries. He spoke to SBS Arabic's Dima Alkaed about what happened that day... and his plans moving forward.
