This October, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, amplify Latinx stories and Native voices, and recognize environmental action and American democracy with a special presentation of Latino Public Broadcasting's VOCES, a new climate change film and the start of the eighth season of Stories from the Stage.
What Matters Most
Some moments prompt us to pause and reflect, serving as reminders of what matters most. A chaotic boat ride leads Amy to a new chapter; despite past trauma and fear of public speaking, Vanna takes a chance to advocate for change; and an encounter with a boy shapes Jacqueline's commitment to helping children. Three storytellers, three interpretations of WHAT MATTERS MOST, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
Public Enemies, Private Friends
On December 30, 1994, a man entered two abortion clinics in Brookline, MA. By day's end, two women were dead, five wounded, and a community was left mourning. Thus began a clandestine dialogue between leaders of the pro-choice and pro-life movements and the beginning of the most unlikely friendship.
