					| Description | 
  					(Kouka): 'Home Fires is about those who stayed behind and ensured lots of the stories about the past were remembered. 'You had to leave to gain strength but after one generation you realise there's lots of strength back home as well and you need both. You have to keep the home fires burning or the stories will die'. |
