	Description:		In this episode, Maggie is joined by a special guest host - her friend and documentary film maker, Lyttanya Shannon. They discuss the inspiring work that Lyttanya is involved in, share what they're reading, watching, listening to, and following this month, and compare British and American terminology. But first, if you’ve had a chance to rate and review our show on iTunes, THANK YOU! If not, would you please? It only takes a minute. What you'll hear: The British version of a Southern accent Lyttanya's journey to becoming a documentary film maker The challenges of telling stories of survival and hardship A lovely poem about plums The correct(?) way to pronounce 'herb' What we're reading, watching, listening to, and following this month Can I quote you on that? "The people who don't have a voice or don't have a medium t0 share their stories are often the ones who we learn the most from." - Lyttanya "I'm drawn to stories of survival." - Lyttanya "When you're directing...the camera is almost like a barrier." - Lyttanya "It was after I put the camera down and gave the girls a hug...that's when you really allow yourself to be present in what's going on." - Lyttanya "To-may-to, to-mah-to. Not just a saying, but a real life conflict." - Maggie "When you see 1000 die, it's not the same as seeing one person die. Because you connect to that one." - Lyttanya Links: Esta Vida documentary page A Collection of Poems: Edna St. Vincent Millay The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt Chef's Table Cartel Land A Syrian Love Story Citizen Shade The Rival Lion Babe "Finding Home Among the Homeless" - Derek Snook Menina Dança Lyttanya Shannon on Facebook and Twitter Thoughts, questions, comments?
