Indira Naidoo was one of the first South Asian faces Suhayla Sharif saw on Australian television. Decades later, the two sit down for a conversation about identity, journalism, and the changing role of media in an increasingly fragmented world. A pioneering voice across SBS and the ABC, Indira reflects on her family's journey from apartheid-era South Africa to Australia, reporting on some of the world's biggest conflicts, and a career spent helping Australians make sense of the world.
