High-school sweethearts break up, and unexpectedly come back together. A mental breakdown leads to newfound enlightenment and healing. Getting lost on a hunting trip bonds a father and son, and gives their inexperienced guide a new perspective on life and family. A stolen car becomes a home.
On June 19, Storytellers from across Colorado gathered at The Lyric in Fort Collins for "Lost & Found: A Community Storytelling Event."
Hosted by KUNC's Luke Runyon, four preselected speakers and a few audience Wild Card submissions shared stories of what they found when they lost what was most precious.
Some stories contain adult content and language.
