Fouad Hady was born in Baghdad and came to Australia by boat from Indonesia as an asylum seeker in 2000. He settled in Melbourne where he studied film and television at the RMIT University.
He’s since been commissioned by Dateline to travel back to Iraq for a series of groundbreaking stories, including the Walkley Award-winning 'City of Widows'. The 2009 story documented the thousands of widows and homeless families struggling to survive in war-torn Iraq.
Another of Fouad's stories, Iraq's Deadly Legacy, won a United Nations Association of Australia Media Peace Award and a Walkley Award for Excellence in Journalism in 2010. It looked at the possible links between depleted uranium weapons and an increase in babies being born deformed and children developing cancer in Iraq.
