Eiji Han Shimizu is a creative activist from Japan who uses animation and graphic novels to inform and inspire his audiences.

His current project is an animated film depicting the stories of North Korean citizens, the ordinary people whose lives are hidden behind the headlines.

We met Eiji 5 years ago when he came to speak at our Summercamp about "What we can learn from the world's happiest people".

On this episode of the Fireside we're going to find out more about his latest film and the importance of feeling relatedness in order for us to act.
