The American South is a region shaped by history and culture, defined by land and by resources, brought together through joy and pain, through humor and tragedy. We're excited to co-present the Southern Stories Collection with our friends at @povdocs!
The stories in this group weave a tapestry of lived experiences and perspectives, where tradition and modernity mix, communities are built, past and present merge, and dreams and hopes pave the way for the future.

For a decade, Our America: Documentaries in Dialogue has harnessed the power of documentary storytelling to bring communities together, spark meaningful conversations, and bridge divides.
Today, we’re celebrating 10 years of impact and announcing the 2026–27 Our America grantees! 🎉
Since launching in 2016, American Documentary | POV has awarded more than $250,000 to public media stations and community partners nationwide, supporting screenings, dialogue, and community engagement around the issues that shape our lives.
This year, we’re proud to award $30,000 to four grantees expanding the reach of documentary storytelling through public media, libraries, education, and journalism:
HBCU Library Alliance (@hbculibraryalliance)

Rocky Mountain PBS (@rmpbs)
As Our America enters its second decade, our commitment remains the same: bringing people together through the power of film, fostering dialogue, and building stronger, more connected communities.
Congratulations to our 2026–27 grantees! Here’s to the next 10 years of storytelling, connection, and impact.

There is no single story of the American South. POV’s Southern Stories collection brings together films that reflect a region shaped by history, culture, land and community, and by the people whose lives continually redefine what the South can be.
Across stories of tradition and change, joy and struggle, memory and possibility, these films offer a tapestry of contemporary Southern experiences where past and present remain in conversation and hopes for the future take root.
Explore Southern Stories, co-presented with @alpublictv (APTV), streaming October 15-November 15. Also check out Jeffrey’s Southern Ghosts from our partners at Alabama Public Television, a journey into Alabama’s rich Southern folklore that brings ghost stories and local legends to life, perfect for spooky season.
