When Alkira Buti was born in 1993 her parents knew little about cri du chat syndrome other than it was a chromosomal abnormality that would render their daughter ‘disabled’.

As they searched to understand more about the syndrome and the likely future for their daughter, they learned more about the social treatment of, and attitudes towards, children with disabilities.

Alkira is a story of resilience, determination, heartache and triumph for Alkira and her parents. In conversation with Gillian O’Shaughnessy, Tony Buti will challenge us to rethink how we approach disability and move toward a more just and inclusive society for all.
