Final Irwin film due for broadcast

The film made by Steve Irwin in the days before his death is to be broadcast in Australia.

The documentary-maker was killed by a stingray in September while filming for Ocean's Deadliest.

It has been produced and will be introduced by the star's widow Terri in a broadcast on the country's Channel 9 network. Irwin is seen interacting with great white sharks, poisonous fish and crocodiles, according to BBC News.

The film is narrated by explorer Philippe Cousteau who partnered Irwin on the expedition. The pair make points about conservation and the environment as well as exploring nature.

Terri found it "harrowing" to watch the documentary, according to reports.
