In this Shattered Lives special, Garda Emmanuel Samuel speaks about his journey from being born in a refugee camp in northern Uganda to becoming a fully qualified member of An Garda Síochána. He talks about moving to Ireland as a child, growing up in Kilkenny, joining the Guards, and what life is really like on the frontline. Emmanuel also opens up about dealing with racist comments while on duty, why he tries not to take them personally, and how his career has inspired others who may never have seen policing as an option.
