Episode 3: I'm a Fighter by The Voice of Us

NY State Police Investigator, Sayeh Rivazfar, tells her story of surviving the unimaginable. As a young child, Sayeh's voice was ignored by case workers, by the police, by the court, by other adults and by the state of Florida. Her immigrant father's attempts to gain custody of his children were ignored by the American court system. Sayeh's voice was eventually heard when her throat was slashed at the age of 8. But by then, it was ultimately too late for Sayeh's younger sister, Sara. Her story is deeply painful, yet also powerful. Sayeh could be called a victim and a survivor, but ultimately she likes to call herself a fighter, because throughout her life she has never given up.
