AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Nyadol Nyuon's family is from South Sudan, but she was born in a refugee camp.

'Every night she prayed that her family could move to Australia. And, when she was 18, her prayers were answered.

'In Australia, Nyadol wanted to be a lawyer, but her teachers didn't think she had the ability.

'Nyadol had some surprises in store for those doubters.

'She did become a lawyer and, when the media unfairly targeted African youths in their reports, she found her voice and fought to give refugees a voice too.'  (Production summary)
