The first episode of WNET and PBS Digital Studios’ new web series, First Person, has gone live. In this episode, host Kristin Russo interviews artist Skylar Kergil to examine transgender visibility and transitions.
The series is the first to come as a result of the previously announced strategic partnership between WNET’s Interactive Engagement Group and PBS Digital Studios.
Through candid personal narratives, each five-to-eight minute video will examine a different set of issues facing the LGBTQ community, using interviews and host commentary to illustrate intimate experiences that speak to larger conversations about gender, sexuality, social norms and identity development. First Person will also incorporate comments from viewers, discussion prompts and engagement with viewers to continue the conversation on the First Person social media accounts.
