This year marks the 30th season of POV on PBS! That’s 30 years of groundbreaking documentaries, brilliant filmmakers, challenging points of view, and outstanding outreach and collaboration with countless communities across the country.

Our 30th season also means 30 years of some of the most stunning, moving, remarkable images to appear on screen, and to honor that, we’re launching an Instagram project. Throughout 2017, POV’s Instagram account will showcase images connected to those 30 seasons: celebrating our extraordinary filmmakers, world-changing moments and people captured on film.

Join us on our Instagram page @povdocs, updated daily, for a year of powerful images from POV’s past and present.

2017 marks 30 years of POV on @pbs! From here on, we’ll be sharing the stories of the people and moments from our decades-long archive. May 1 kicks of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, commemorating the rich history and diversity of Asians and Pacific Islanders. Grace Lee Boggs (1915 – 2015), a Chinese-American philosopher, writer and activist, was rooted in the labor, civil rights and Black Power movements for 75 years. She had a thick FBI file and a firm conviction in the power of constant and incisive reflection and dialogue. ‘American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs’ (POV 2014) documents Grace well into her 90s, no less the radical that challenged others to throw off old assumptions, think creatively and redefine revolution for our times. #TodayinPOVHistory #APAHM
