Many of you have joined conversations about Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s Independent Lens series A Path Appears on Facebook, Twitter or through our Jan. 26 Community Cinema event. You can continue this engagement by viewing, sharing and commenting on five original NPT videos available on our YouTube channel.
Four of the videos focus on Oasis Center, the YWCA’s MEND program, End Slavery Tennessee and Thistle Farms-Magdalene House–local organizations helping at-risk populations avoid or recover from some of the issues discussed in A Path Appears. The fifth video in our series features author/series co-creator Kristof.
NPT producer Greta Requierme said working on the videos impressed upon her that sex-trafficking, abuse and teen endangerment are “happening right here, that’s it’s not an issue that’s being dealt with just in big cities.
“There’s a lot of need in our community, a lot of people who are in bad situations because they’ve been dealt a bad hand in life. The good news is there are great organizations in Nashville meeting people where they are, offering hope, compassion and a helping hand,” Requierme said.
NPT’s A Path Appears video shorts are available online and will also be shown on air over the next few months.
