National Geographic Storytelling Fellow Sandesh Kadur takes an active role in searching for a character whose story will be impactful. It’s a deliberate choice based on the passion of the person, their knowledge, and their connection to their environment—in this case a river in the Himalayas, which Sandesh also sees as a main character.

This video was developed in partnership with Adobe, as part of a series of courses called Storytelling for Impact.
