Franca is a woman who has always been a people's champion, never afraid to step forward and speak out. Franca's personal story explores the situation and problems that she, like so many others, faced when migrating to Australia from a non-English speaking country.
Franca candidly tells of her life and the struggles of the people in her own and broader communitites during less "multicultural" times. She describes her politicisation and her rise to become a central player in social and educational reform and state politics.
For the first time Franca reveals details of her own role in the dramatic events that shook the New South Wales political scene to its core, caused sensation in the media and parliament alike, and led to claims that her interventions had directly "caused" the death of a prominent judge.
This is story of courage and an insight into social and political history. Above all it is Franca's story, an inspirational tale of personal struggle and achievement. Franca is the celebration of a passionate life.
