In 2017, State of the Arts produced a special half-hour documentary about Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the pioneering aviator, best-selling author, mother of six, ambassador’s daughter, and wife of the controversial Charles Lindbergh. Narrated by the powerful actor Judith Light, Anne Morrow Lindbergh: You'll Have the Sky went on to national PBS distribution, and won a Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Outstanding Writing. 


Born in 1906 and raised in Englewood, New Jersey, Anne was a woman of her time—yet her story, and her classic book Gift from the Sea, continues to speak to us today. Join us for this special rebroadcast.
