Navigating Trauma and Storytelling with Stephen Bennet, Karin Goodwin, and Stephen Stewart

In this special live episode of "Darren McGarvey's Common People," recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 as part of the Trauma Industrial Complex Campaign, Darren welcomes an incredible panel:

BAFTA award-winning documentary filmmaker Stephen Bennet

Co-editor of The Ferret Karin Goodwin

Trauma-informed journalist Stephen Stewart

Together, they dive into the ethical and moral dilemmas media professionals face when telling stories of adversity involving individuals who may be actively experiencing trauma. Lived experience stories are powerful tools for social and political change, but they require care in conveying them. This thought-provoking conversation explores the safe and unsafe ways to tell these stories and the delicate balance between raising awareness and avoiding harm.
