Synopsis
Since 2003, StoryCorps has been recording and preserving the voices of everyday people, one conversation at a time. For the past five years, the producers have shared one of these stories each
week on NPR. Following the success of its first season on television in 2010, StoryCorps will bring its Peabody Award-winning storytelling back to POV for a second season in 2011.
Animated and directed by The Rauch Brothers, the shorts use StoryCorps' original recordings, capturing the intimate and emotionally resonant conversations that have become renowned as NPR's quintessential "driveway moments." This second edition of animated shorts will take viewers on a journey through America with stories about an indomitable Sunday school teacher, a strongwilled grandmother and a husband’s love and loss on Sept. 11, 2001. The StoryCorps collection is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
