Stories, and those that tell them, have enormous power to shape individuals and how we see the world.
Stories include everything from Greek myths to investigative journalism and the porkies told by politicians.
At this event hosted by the Bristol Cable as part of our Media Lab 2018 programme, renowned journalist Gary Younge explores how stories shape our lives, and his experience in hearing and telling them.
