Pascale Harter introduces stories on addiction, Black Panther & fire trucks.

We’re in Beirut, Lebanon where Sophia Smith Galer meets a dancer who marries tradition and progression within his art. 

Finally to Zambia, where Nick Miles speaks to some of the county’s firefighters and discovers they have more than flames to contend with.
