Cherry Kingsley: Recognizing the Person

Cherry Kingsley takes us on a journey through her experiences growing up in an abusive home and her youth spent in prostitution and drug addiction, to receiving the Governor General's award as an international spokesperson for the rights of children. Her story shows the struggle she undergoes to turn her life around, connect and learn about her aboriginal roots, and become a voice for sexually exploited youth both in Canada and internationally. This remarkable story is one of triumph, of finding a voice, and of learning how to use that voice to effect change.
