Robert Ian Bonnick - Soul Survivor

Robert Ian Bonnick was abandoned by his parents when he was less than two years old. He spent the next 16 years in children’s institutions.

Yet, despite such a tough start to life, which included seeing other children he lived with jailed or even killed, Robert has had a successful life. He has represented England in basketball, been a professional model, worked in hospitality and become a motivational speaker.

Robert Ian Bonnick speaks with Warren Moore about his book, Soul Survivor: How an abandoned child went from nothing to everything.
