Storytelling creates a unique opportunity for self reflection for the person who is being documented. By focusing on the positive, and reflecting back to them their good qualities, your storytelling can create the conditions for wonderful things to occur. 

This does not mean that we don't show real challenges that occur in people's lives - it means that we show their good qualities as they face these challenges.

This video showcases the stories of two documentary participants who's lives were positively affected by taking part in the storytelling process. 

Below are optional links to the full documentaries  that are profiled in this lesson.
