Bien que je ne comprenne pas tout , j’ai été très impressionné par ce beau documentaire
Cath Turner a beaucoup de chance d’avoir été adoptée par un gentil couple australien qui avait déjà deux filles, et après elle a réussit de retrouver sa mère biologique.
Personnellement, je la trouve très belle. C’est une femme dynamique qui a du caractère mais aussi gentille.
Après avoir voyagé à travers le monde, aujourd’hui, elle vit et travaille comme correspondante pour Aljazeera à New York.
Cath Turner
CorrespondentCath Turner was born in Saigon in 1974 during the Vietnam War. The North Vietnamese Army was steadily advancing south and taking control of the country.
In April 1975, as thousands of children were airlifted out of Vietnam during “Operation Baby Lift” – a mass evacuation sanctioned by the US and Australian governments, five-months-old Cath was among half that were airlifted and adopted by Australian families. Cath’s traumatic and unusual beginning immediately set her apart from her friends and peers. It also helped set her on a path in telling people’s stories.
After studying journalism at university, Cath started her media career as a newsreader in radio. But TV was her passion, so she took a job as a Production Assistant in Sydney at Channel 9, Australia’s number one network.
Then an incredible opportunity came up. Cath was one of 8 people selected as a competitor in a show called Race Around the World. Each Racer had to travel solo to 10 countries in 100 days and make a 4-minute documentary in each country. Alone. No cameraman, no soundman, no producer. Paper edits were written and sent back to Australia with the tapes and were edited there. Cath made short films in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, South Africa, Uganda, Iceland, Norway, Mexico, Venezuela and Vanuatu.Cath’s television reporting career began after Race, in regional Australia. She worked as a general assignment reporter for four years in several towns and cities across New South Wales.
Then was appointed bureau chief for Channel Seven in Cairns, Queensland. This was both a managerial and reporting position. She coordinated the bureau’s daily news coverage, with a team of two news reporters, a sports reporter and three cameramen. She also wrote 2-3 of her own packages a day.
A personal development took Cath back to Sydney, where she worked briefly as a segment producer for Australia’s Number One breakfast show, Sunrise on Channel 7. But it wasn’t long before she ended up in the newsroom, reporting for the same show.
Then along came Al Jazeera English. In 2006, Cath moved to Kuala Lumpur as a news producer for the network’s launch. She was often tasked with pulling together agency wrap packages on breaking news. She travelled extensively around Asia and produced a number of feature stories from the region.
In 2008, she was promoted to reporter and moved to Washington, D.C. to cover the biggest story of the year: the U.S. election. Cath travelled across the country, following the Democratic and Republican primaries and reporting on other political events and stories.
In 2009, Cath was again promoted when a vacancy in Al Jazeera’s New York bureau opened up. She is now based there as a correspondent and reports on the United Nations, Wall Street and around the five boroughs.
In just three years, Cath has reported from 42 of the 50 states in the US!
She travelled to Haiti in 2010 to cover the devastating cholera outbreak. Cath and her team won an award from the New York Press Club for “Best Spot News Story” for their reporting on the issue.Cath is not afraid to get her hands dirty or report from the front line. During her university years, she became a second lieutenant in the Australian Army Reserve. In 2010, she completed a Hostile Environment Course near Atlanta, which was helpful during several dangerous situations in Haiti.
For Cath, her job has always been about the people: their lives, their stories, their hopes and dreams, their pain and grief, their resilience.
