The Keepers

Monday, December 16, 2019 at 9 pm.

The Keepers, a new hour-long special from The Kitchen Sisters and PRX with host, Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand.

The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva)

Stories of activist archivists, rogue librarians, curators, collectors and historians. Guardians of history, large and small. Protectors of the free flow of information and ideas. Keepers of the culture and the culture and collections they keep. The Hip Hop Archive at Harvard, The Pack Horse Librarians of Eastern Kentucky, The Lenny Bruce Archive and more striking and surprising stories of preservation and civic life. Sound-rich, highly produced, hope-filled.
