Ryan Lobo, a documentary film maker and photojournalist gave a TED talk that was incredible and inspiring.
“Sometimes focusing on what’s heroic, beautiful and dignified, regardless of the context, can help magnify these intangibles in three ways, in the protagonist of the story, in the audience and also in the storyteller, that’s the power of storytelling. Focus on what’s dignified, courageous and beautiful and it grows.” – Ryan Lobo
