Recenzje

Story Movementsrises above the gloom of cynicism and rage with our media to celebrate the voices in real stories artfully told. Social documentaries draw the contours and complexities of people and issues, and throw open shades drawn against humanity by cynics, charlatans, shouters. Caty Borum Chattoo's beautiful book reminds us that everything changes, except for these authentic stories and their thundering role in democracy.
