Borders Between Us, produced by Saidu Tejan-Thomas Jr. and Jay Allison for Transom.org.
Winner of the 2020 Best Documentary: Silver Award
Saidu Tejan-Thomas is a young poet. For a long time, he had a story he needed to tell: an homage and apology to his mother. It's a tragic love story driven by the tangled search for a better life. It's personal for sure, but set against the universal perils of immigration - in Saidu's case, from Sierra Leone in West Africa - but by extension, from anywhere. Borders Between Us uses Saidu's poems as narrative drivers, reveals, and resolutions. These are not easy tasks for poems.

Hen and Bill Boardman
At an age when most people are simplifying their lives and settling into old age, Helen Boardman was opening a new chapter - traveling to Europe, writing her memoirs, and falling in love (at age 90) with a younger man.
Ruth Ellis
Having no children, and having been shunned by her family for being gay, Ruth Ellis found herself alone in old age. That is, until a brand-new community embraced her, and helped her make the most out of the final years of her life.
Abraham Goldstein
Retirement was never in the cards for Abe Goldstein, who taught law at Baruch College in New York well into his 100s.
Roy Larkin Stamper
Cattle rancher, coal miner and preacher are just a few of the vocations R.L. Stamper pursued over the course of his 100 years. In the last years of his life, R.L. believed the Rapture was imminent and he wanted just one more thing: a wife.
Marion Cowen
Marion Cowen worked in theater and film with some of the great stars of his time and still remembers a few stories, though many memories have faded. Having outlived his entire family and almost all of his friends, Marion's primary end-of-life companion was a beloved 26 year-old cat named Soho.
Anna Wilmot
After her husband died, Anna Wilmot chose not to re-marry, believing "when you've had the best, forget the rest."

Soltitude didn't bring her down however - on the contrary Anna found many things to love about her life.

The Tristan Mysteries: The Five-Hour Mystery
by Amy O'Leary and Limor Tomer (WNYC, 2007)
Opera, by its very nature, is synonymous with extravaganza: the huge voices, the sweeping music, the epic story-lines, the performance that lasts hours. Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, a five-hour opera, is no exception and it has one of the most colorful histories around.
Tristan und Isolde Act 1
by Ed Herrmann (2007)
For someone who doesn't like opera, there is nothing worse than sitting through Wagner. For those who just can't take it, here's act one of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in three minutes, plus a summary of the action.
What Brought Down the House
by Brendan Greeley (2004)
In our country, one of the biggest shows around is a constitutionally mandated annual spectacle starring one of the biggest actors around, the President of the United States. Each year he (or she) is required to give a State of the Union address to Congress. In 2004, producer Brendan Greeley decided to do a brief analysis of the address to see what kind of sentiment got what kind of response.

This story goes deep behind the statistic.
The Being Sound
by Stephanie Rowden for ShortCuts from BBC Radio 4.
Over the years, Stephanie Rowden has been chasing after her son's voice. The timbre and cadence always about to slip away, and into something new. She uses the microphone as a kind of butterfly net. If you're lucky, you catch a tiny miracle or two. Or perhaps one big riddle.
Give His Voice Back to Him
by Audrey McGlinchy for KUT.
In 2016, a black teenager was killed by an Austin Police officer. His name was David Joseph. He was 17 years old. A few months later, his cousin Vanessa Bissereth decided to do something about it.
