Empath power

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of empathy in storytelling with filmmakers and poets.

In our latest episode, we speak to Bhulla Beghal, a filmmaker and Carla Mellor, a poet. We discuss why empathy is a strength in storytelling, how best to bring out emotion in campaigning projects, and how carers can better share their stories. Our conversation covers how these award-winning storytellers immerse themselves in worlds they don't have personal experience of to powerfully extract the underlying truths within. You can see more of Bhulla's work here:  https://www.bluebellfilms.co.uk/ He's @bluebellfilms @bhullabeghal on instagram and you can follow him on LinkedIn in here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhullabeghal/…
