Love and honour and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice -- Cartagena -- Meeting Elise -- Halflead Bay -- Hiroshima -- Tehran calling -- The boat.
Stories that take us from the slums of Colombia to the streets of Tehran; from New York City to Iowa; from a tiny fishing village in Australia to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea-- while taking us to the heart of what is means to be human.
