Synopsis:

Descendants of the "Z" Special Unit get a taste of their forefather's wartime experiences. Australia's Secret Heroes tells the story of "Z" Special Unit. A remarkable group of men were plucked from the Australian military in World War II, trained in explosives, camouflage, silent killing and torture - and then sent on incredibly perilous undercover operations in Asia. For years, the Z Special operatives were sworn to secrecy. But now the veterans, some speaking publicly for the first time, relive their remarkable wartime exploits. In a unique "living history" approach, Australia's Secret Heroes also takes 6 descendants of the men who did it for real to give them a taste of what their forefathers went through. Over the course of the series, the modern-day "recruits" see water boarding, witness torture techniques and hear first-hand about some of the most ingenious and dangerous covert operations ever undertaken.
