[Hamish Mortland] is attracted to powerful ideas, often found in the fringes of society that can help add voice to a wider cultural discussion. Fresh, untold stories full of curious, gutsy characters overcoming challenges and adversity are themes he strongly connects with. From Hamish Mortland's website
