After a tormented childhood, much of which she lived as a feral child, Judy Westwater was determined to make her life meaningful. Over the past ten years, she has set up seven day centres for children in the violent townships of South Africa and lectured to many thousands across the UK to raise funds for her work. Her childhood story, was the subject of one of the late John Peel’s most moving interviews on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Home Truths’. ITV’s This Morning followed Judy out to South Africa to witness firsthand her incredible work, recording an extremely moving mini documentary that also features where she was homeless as a child.
