Chapter 2: In conversation with Laura Jean McKay

Come visit the Territory with Laura Jean McKay.

Hear how a visit to community on Australia's fringes and a real – stranger than fiction – experience inspired this story, how giving voice to the voiceless has become part of Laura's practice, and why the voice we gave her story caught her off guard.

Listeners are advised that this episode of Unfolded comes with a language and content warning.
