And also just in terms of narrative, you're talking about sort of personal identity as a narrative?
00:04
That's part of it. That's one of it, is your personal identity.
00:09
Probably the narratives that nations, they create about themselves to forge an identity,
00:16
but sometimes those narratives are hidden, are hiding ugly truths.
00:23
You know, that when they come up to the surface,
00:26
they create a certain amount of trauma in different cultures, you know?
00:33
So the whole thing of narrative, because narrative as the beginning of the whole piece,
00:44
Christiane Amanpour says, beware of narrative and form,
00:50
because narrative and form can be amazing tools for knowledge.
00:56
And education, but also can be very powerful tools for manipulation.
01:04

01:11

01:20
is the narrative between the audience and their own perception of things
01:27
and the narrative presented to them.
