Purple States video explores what matters in real lives, and anchors discussion of complex social issues in the experience and concerns of those affected by them. Our first-person short-form documentaries have animated reporting by major news organizations (including the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA TODAY, the Wall Street Journal, TIME, and Politico.
