We are born free and we will die free..... the time in between, can be complicated. Freedom is constantly under attack, either by governments and institutions, or our own egos. Sometimes when we build our own prison walls around us, escaping can be incredibly difficult. On Finding Freedom we deliver interviews with real people, sharing real stories of overcoming the odds, persevering injustice and unlocking their potential. This show has been created to inspire you. Life is hard. And Finding your Freedom isn't easy.
