Synopsis
The groundbreaking public radio project StoryCorps will enter into the world of television for the first time with a series of animated shorts that will air on POV later this summer. Q&A is a three-minute film featuring the audio recording of Joshua Littman, a 12-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome, interviewing his mother, Sarah. Joshua's unique questions and Sarah's loving, unguarded answers reveal a beautiful relationship that reminds us of the best — and the most challenging — parts of being a mother. Q&A will be broadcast before The Edge of Dreaming and after Wo Ai Ni Mommy. (4 minutes)

StoryCorps grew out of a very simple idea: we wanted to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record their life stories.”

Critical Acclaim
Q&A is a 12-year-old autistic boy interviewing his mom about what it's like to raise him. We were struck by his perceptiveness, his mom's honesty, and the amazing relationship that comes through in just four minutes.”

Forget the flowers and brunches. David Isay has produced a four-minute video, Q&A, that is a bulls-eye to the heart of motherhood.”

The Cleveland Plain Dealer
“[In Q&A], Joshua's direct and original questions, which are often typical of someone with Asperger's . . . and his mother's honest and insightful answers are sometimes funny and always deeply moving, saying a lot about how love works between a parent and child. . . . I wanted to bottle it and hand it out to everyone I know who doesn't have an unconditionally loving parent.”
