morning stories: #2 communities

For this episode, we turn to the idea of community. By looking at examples of communities coming together in South Africa around land and housing rights, in Sri Lanka to save an ancient Tamil temple, and in the UK to resist immigration raids, we want to show that starting small can have a big impact.
