Sorry for this video being so long, but unfortunately I think that all videos of this four-part series will be over four minutes long as there is just so much to cover. I have tried to keep all previous videos around 2-3 minutes and it is my intention to keep doing so in the future, but whenever a story needs more space I feel like it is important to make sure that the story is properly.

0:00 Intro
