The intro film
The settlers introduce themselves
Chair of the council; the safety of the whole group
“I'm Adam. In Canada I led a mountain rescue team. Here I chair the council. My job is simple: all twenty-four of us alive, every year.”
The Record, the measures and the school
“I'm Preet, from Amritsar in Punjab. I keep the Record. Everything we learn, I write down, and every mistake too. Nothing we learn will be lost again.”
Health, births and sanitation
“I'm Grace, from Nyeri in Kenya. I'm a nurse and a midwife. I look after births, wounds and clean water. I want never to bury anyone here.”
