About the podcast
A four-part CBC podcast following Vienna Luke’s search for the truth after sexual assault — a journey that takes her undercover and, ultimately, toward reclaiming her voice and agency.
Vienna Luke's Story
Agent Layla tells the true story of Vienna Luke, a British Columbia woman who became an undercover RCMP agent in her own historic sexual assault investigation.
With the support of her sister, Shawnessy Luke, Vienna embarked on a years-long search for answers, justice and ultimately her own voice.
