What can we learn from the humanity of others? From seeing ourselves reflected in someone else? Josie Long presents stories of role models."You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There's this idea that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. And what I've always thought isn't that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. It's that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves... Part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it." - Junot DiazWater Fleas Featuring Akira Sakata Produced by Phil SmithMirrors Featuring Nikesh ShuklaNadia Produced by Sophie TownsendIntolerants Not Welcome Featuring Mark Thompson Produced by Alan HallSeries Producer: Eleanor McDowallA Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in September 2017.
