An Australian in Paris
Emilie Gassin had fallen in love with Paris. The young Australian musician settled in the city seven years ago to carve out a career performing and recording. Her career was growing strongly as was her following and her circle of friends. The gifted singer/songwriter was living her dream. Then terror struck in the heart of Emilie’s community and took two of her mates. One was among those gunned down by terrorists inside the Bataclan concert hall, the other shot at a neighbourhood café sipping coffee with his girlfriend. It was a senseless, brutal wave of coordinated assaults on one of the world’s great cities and its people and it shocked the world. In this powerful and compelling Sunday Night exclusive, Emilie recounts the harrowing events of the night, the frenzied efforts to find her friends and heartbreaking discovery that they had perished along with scores of other Parisians. Sunday Night’s Melissa Doyle also sheds new light on the events that unfolded inside the Bataclan concert hall, as a survivor recounts for the first time her desperate efforts to elude the rampaging gunmen to stay alive. Ultimately though, this is a story of hope and redemption through Emilie’s efforts to help heal her beloved new city, alongside other musicians and artists who are all determined the terror attacks will not change the heart of Paris or the French way of life.
