Susan Collin Marks & John Marks Part 2 of 2

In this second X-Interview, John Marks, President of Search for Common Ground, and Susan Collin Marks, Senior Vice President, share stories.

Susan talks about Burundi, where Search for Common Ground launched radio programs to help Tutsis and Hutus celebrate their heroes, those who risked their own lives for helping friends and neighbors from the other ethnic group.

These radio programs led into the Heroes Summit, where stories were shared publicly: "Previously seen as traitors, they are now recognized as heroes."

John talks about an initiative launched around the World Cup (the soccer/football global event) --soccer-based soap operas where players from different ethnic groups had to play together: "And if they don't cooperate, they don't score goals!"
