Just watched this….excellent….thank you for posting. Thought about how many ‘single stories’ I still have in my head. Helped to break down whatever barriers I have built about writing my impressions of Turkey, a visit that helped me break down one of my single stories.
After watching it, kept bumping into many examples – everything from a National Geographic show on animals to an architectural alternative to stairs (future post). The good news is that we get to select our story, if we can manage to be aware of them, and change our current ones if we wish.
