"A Call From Water Tank 6"
Emmi van den Boom, Tove Tikkanen Jönn and Simon Forsberg
When the South Sudanese government started hunting Grace after falsely accusing her of helping the rebel forces, she had no choice but to flee the country. She was forced into hiding, leaving her four children behind. They were apart for over seven months. But on the 17th January 2017, they met again. They didn’t reunite back home, but in Palorinya refugee camp in Northern Uganda. Since that day, they have been trying to start their lives over, and to build their dreams again. But that is not an easy task when you have lost everything.
"The Silent Wound"
Natalia Guerrero
During Colombia’s 53-year internal conflict, around 15,000 military veterans have lived in their own bodies with the heart-breaking consequences of a barbaric war. A considerable number of them have also sacrificed their masculinity in the form of genital trauma.

ToRrside Brewing
Torrside Brewing is based in New Mills, in Derbyshire's High Peak, on the north-west edge of the Peak District.
Our name is taken from the Torrs, the 70-foot-deep gorge cut by the Rivers Goyt & Sett, that the town stands above and around. New Mills is an old and sizeable town, but has somehow missed out on having its own brewery!
