The
theme, "The Power of Story", considers the transformative power of
stories. The hunger for stories is part
of what makes us human. Stories explain who we have been, who we are

can make sense of our experiences, and give shape to our lives and our
beliefs. Even ordinary people's stories can
transform the world.
