Summary: This hour: stories of people in love, who just wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. The Forty Year Courtship of Peter and Jaqueline Headan by Michael Garofalo and Jasymn Belcher (StoryCorps, Morning Edition, 2012) We've all waited for something or someone, but few of us have the patience or persistence to wait for 40 years. Dina and Zak: A Love Story by Dea Lalovic and Kirsti Melville (360 Documentaries, ABC, 2012) On April 6, 1992, Serb militants opened fire on thousands of peace demonstrators in Sarajevo, beginning a siege that killed thousands, separated families and left 400,000 residents trapped in a war torn city. Around the same time, Sarajevo became the backdrop to a love story that persevered through incredible obstacles. Falling by Jonathan Mitchell, written by Chet Siegel (The Truth, 2013) From the entirely fictitious podcast The Truth, comes a story that has more twists and turns than a luge run and centers on a persistence that borders on obsession.
