People Of Lisbon People Of Lisbon Welcome to People of Lisbon, a podcast series that delves into the lives of the diverse and vibrant individuals who call Lisbon home. Each episode features interviews drawn from the video documentary series, People of Lisbon.

People of Lisbon was created by Irish filmmaker Stephen O'Regan and Latvian photographer Rita Ansone. We Are All Americans Michele Jaquis Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport, I am recording conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity.
