The power of storytelling transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. As people we are hardwired to connect with one another through the stories we tell.
The stories we tell have the potential to bring us closer together, to inspire empathy and compassion, and to potentially bring forward positive change.
The story told uplifts those its about, it shows them their lives matter to others, that their struggles are important and it allows those that consume those stories to get a better grasp of their own lives, put things into perspective, derive meaning that can be a driving force towards positive internal change.
If a story is not told, it's like it never happened; but worse, it's a wasted opportunity to inspire, educate, or connect with others."
Whether its a story of survival, the struggle for access to basic needs, or the triumphs of the human spirit against all odds (insert: Chariots Of Fire😃), these stories are crucial to telling the larger narrative of our shared humanity.
Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity."
It is the responsibility of filmmakers, artists, "those" creative types to use their craft to amplify the voices of those whose stories may not be heard otherwise. Whether it's a documentary film, a work of fiction, or any other form of art, the stories we tell have the potential to inspire change and give a voice to the voiceless.
