In this discussion, we are invited to learn more about social and sustainability issues we all face through the power of storytelling with fiction. From the pages of We Don't Matter to Prick of the Needle, we gain perspective through the lives of people living in incredibly difficult situations, where protests rage, fires swallow hillsides and drug addiction separates people from mainstream society. We are invited to think differently, and gain a greater understanding for and love of one another as we a journey into lives we might otherwise never have known.
