In the Life



I recently was sent a couple of videos of the show "In the Life" by Chris Christoffel (from Northwest Arkansas) and was blown away by the inspiring stories. Unfortunately, our local PBS station does NOT carry this important program and I would like to ask the community to help encourage them to do so. I know that my personal struggle with coming out and accepting "who I am" would have been much easier if (as a gay Arkansas teen) I could have had access to a show like this.

About "In the Life" (from http://inthelifetv.org)

In the Life is a national television series in a newsmagazine format that reports on LGBT issues and culture. Segments from some of our past episodes have been devoted to topics such as Youth and Education, Health and AIDS, Arts and Culture, Workplace, Relationships and Family, and Global Issues.
In the Life is broadcast on 246 analog and digital public television stations nationwide, including all of the top 20 viewer markets, reaching 70 million US households.
In the Life is produced by In The Life Media, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) member-supported educational project dedicated to presenting accurate information about the LGBT community.
ITL Mission
In The Life Media, a national organization, provides information about the LGBT community and produces diverse images of the LGBT community to create better understanding and acceptance.
In the Life's cultural programming continues to educate not only LGBT people about their culture, but people from all communities with a uniquely LGBT perspective.
