NPT is starting another exciting project around the 5-part PBS series Women, War, and Peace. We’ll be holding screenings in the next several weeks, and we’re also having some female storytellers do stories on Nashville women who have experienced war. Our first event is tomorrow with the series producer, Abigail Disney. We’ll screen clips from the series and also debut three new storyteller videos on the topic. So come on out tomorrow afternoon, and look out for new Nashville Women, War and Peace stories on this blog very soon!
