Little Daughter: Zoya Phan

20 May 2011

One woman’s extraordinary story of survival to become the voice of a nation enslaved.

Zoya Phan grew up in a small Karen village in the heart of the Burmese jungle. Her mother was a former guerilla and her father a leader of the Karen resistance. However, at the age of fourteen an idyllic childhood was shattered when her village was destroyed by the Burmese army and she and her family had to run for their lives. In an epic personal voyage she travelled from being hunted in the jungle to becoming the spokesperson for the Burma Campaign.

In this special event from the team behind Brighton’s annual City Reads, Zoya speaks to award-winning human rights investigative journalist, Sue Lloyd-Roberts, about her remarkable life. The evening includes a reading from her autobiography Little Daughter and a short film about Burma plus Q & A.
