PBS American Portrait Believes ‘Everyone Has a Story to Tell”

This is a press release from KEET:

PBS American Portrait is a national story-telling project that invites people across the country to use photos, videos and words to tell their own stories to illustrate who we are as a people. PBS American Portrait asks people to be vulnerable–to share their stories and, sometimes, their deepest truths.

KEET-TV is participating in this digital storytelling project and is actively searching for 300 people to submit their stories at https://www.pbs.org/american-portrait/. The station is working with storyteller Ali Freedlund and filmmaker Jennifer Bell to help people of the North Coast to write and film their own short story.

A free online class is taking place on Wednesday, June 10th at 7 p.m. Freedlund will provide details on how to tell a one-minute story and demonstrate how to upload information to the PBS American Portrait website. To register for the workshop email [email protected].

Our country is home to millions of people. Each one of us is unique, and we’re all part of the American story. PBS American Portrait is an ongoing, evolving initiative that asks you, and people all over the country, to submit your individual stories by responding to one of a number of thought-provoking prompts.

Whether it’s joy or sorrow, triumph or hardship, family traditions you’ve followed for decades or just the chaos of the morning school run, we want to put together a picture of life as it’s really lived, today. It’s a chance for you to give us a glimpse into your life, and a chance for you to be heard. This is a major opportunity to make history by creating a communal space where people can share, explore and listen. Everyone is welcome — the more stories we tell, the more we’ll see a real, complex, fascinating portrait of America. Submit your stories today.
