“JUMPCUTS” recounts one woman’s journey through a 25 year long career in television. Phyllis Ward narrates how she managed to get into television during a time of glass ceilings and unequal opportunity for women, where she traveled for different projects, and what she as a producer, director, writer, learned about herself and the world.

From hiding in an East German closet with Jane Pauley, to negotiating cows with a Maasai laibon under the night sky in Africa, to quizzing John Glenn about his favorite view from space, Ward’s snippets from her life in television are often surprising and amusing.
