When Louisa Hope walked into Sydney’s Lindt Cafe 10 years ago she didn't expect her life would change forever.
Louisa is one of the survivors of the Sydney Siege. She and her mother were held at gunpoint and trapped for 17 hours before the gunman executed cafe manager Tori Johnston on his knees in front of her. Another hostage, Katrina Dawson was killed moments later in gunfire when police stormed the cafe.
Louisa joined Mia Freedman for a conversation in 2019 to talk through what happened that day and how she felt five years on.
