Nashville Public Television is one of eight Tennessee nonprofit organizations to receive a 2018 Nissan Foundation grant. The grant will help fund NPT\u2019s Next Door Neighbors<\/strong> project.<\/p>\n

Next Door Neighbors<\/a> began in 2008 and, through documentaries and video shorts, aims to shed light on Nashville\u2019s status as a destination city for refugees and immigrants and to explore the rich diversity of people now calling Middle Tennessee home. The most recent documentary, Next Door Neighbors: Between Two Worlds<\/a>,<\/strong> premiered in April 2018 on NPT. All the documentaries in the series are available for online viewing at video.wnpt.org\/show\/next-door-neighbors\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNPT is extremely grateful to the Nissan Foundation for its long-standing, generous support of Next Door Neighbors,\u201d said Kevin Crane, NPT\u2019s president and CEO. \u201cThe Next Door Neighbors project is a cornerstone of NPT\u2019s service to the Middle Tennessee. More than a decade after it began, the documentary series continues to play a vital role in building acceptance and appreciation for the diverse tapestry of cultures found in our immigrant and refugee communities. I am proud of the work NPT has done in this area and look forward to continuing another year of Next Door Neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n
