Karina Lester is not only the woman who started our program, Nganampa Wangka. She's a Yankunytjatjara Anangu second generation survivor of the nuclear weapons tests which blinded her father, Yami Lester, exactly 70 years ago, this week.

Her life's work has been to keep that story alive and it led her to help found the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). This is that story, from our team on The Wire - Independent Current Affairs on radio around Australia.
