Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. Today, we hear from Ali Ferzat, the famous Syrian cartoonist who was severely beaten after drawing caricatures of the country's President. We also bring you the story of a young Indian man, Sushil Kumar, whose life was turned upside down after winning a million dollars on a television game show. And we hear from Brad Williams, the American man who says he can recall almost every day of his life with complete clarity.
