Since 2003, more than 50,000 people have recorded life stories with their friends and family at StoryCorps recording booths across the country. Archived at the Library of Congress, it is the largest oral history project ever undertaken. StoryCorps’ Peabody Award-winning broadcasts are listened to by millions on public radio and the web, and their book, Listening is An Act of Love, is a New York Times bestseller.

The conversations captured by StoryCorps illustrate just how extraordinary the lives of everyday people truly are. Now, the Rauch brothers are bringing these stories to life in a series of animated shorts. As each animation unfolds, viewers are shown outstanding examples of courage, humor, trials and triumphs demonstrating that it is the individual moments of our lives, and the lives of our neighbors, that define this nation.

“StoryCorps demonstrates that our stories – the stories of everyday people – are the most important stories of all. If we take the time to listen to one another, we will find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the voices and lives of people all around us.”

DAVE ISAY, StoryCorps Founder
