Family Pictures USA

Family Pictures USA is a hosted program that features ordinary people discovering their hidden family and community visual histories that are stashed away in boxes, on old floppy disks or smartphones. Host Thomas Allen Harris guides participants through a personal journey using photographs and images as the primary medium of storytelling. Working with WGCU- TV and UNC-TV as co-presenting stations, this project focuses on small towns and rural communities in Southwest Florida and North Carolina.
