For millennia, who we were depended largely on the circumstances of our birth. Today we're exposed to nearly endless cultural options, and identity is increasingly a matter of choice. The stories this hour look at people and cultures at moments of decision about the path to the future. Featured are a Roma couple in Hungary fighting the institution of child marriage (produced by Frank Browning); the Maasai people of Kenya trying to decide which of their traditions help them and which hold them back (Jon Miller); Hawaiian drug addicts looking to island traditions for a way forward (Jon Miller); the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan seeking a balance between insularity and openness (Karen Michel); and a grassroots movement in Sri Lanka built on the dream of an alternate road to happiness (Sandy Tolan).
