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.
8 POV films were nominated for Emmy awards in 2011, including Robert Kenner's "Food, Inc.," Laura Poitra's "The Oath," Geoffrey Smith's "Presumed Guilty," Nicole Opper's "Off and Running," Stephanie Wang‑Breal's "Wo Ai Ni (I Love You) Mommy," Landon Van Soest's "Good Fortune," Sean Dunne's "The Archive" and the "StoryCorps" animated series.
