It seemed to us that one way of doing that was not just to tell individual stories (although we focused on that, and had some extraordinary ones) but also to provide a context so people could understand the backdrop of it, and to remind people that this isn't a depressing turf, where just terrible things are happening, but also an inspiring, uplifting one, where people are overcoming extraordinary odds and truly changing the world."
