Domestic violence campaigner and 2015 Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty hosts in-depth conversations with accidental leaders - people who unexpectedly found themselves forging new paths and inspiring others to make change.

Russell Vickery came out in his late 40s and later became trapped in an abusive relationship with another man. He’s since written a cabaret about his experiences. He talks to Rosie Batty about the stigma around same-sex domestic violence, and using art for advocacy.
