The Thread is a new documentary interview series on YouTube in which exceptional individuals share the different paths they have taken to lead meaningful lives. Each 30-minute episode of The Thread will take the viewer on a personal journey into the life of an extraordinary individual who explores their life’s passion and purpose. The Thread will tug at the heart and reveal insights into some of the most meaningful lives of our time.
16 episodes of The Thread will premiere weekly from March 4 - June 17, 2024 and feature interviews with Gloria Estefan, Martin Sheen, Kurt “Big Boy” Alexander, Tony Hawk, Katie Couric, Mitt Romney, and other notable figures. The Thread will be made available to the public through LifeStories.org, the Life Stories YouTube channel, and as a podcast across all major platforms.
Each conversation is recorded at the highest quality by Emmy award-winning filmmakers and is accompanied by an educator guide so that the documentary series can be used in secondary classrooms and informal educational settings.
The Thread is brought to you by Life Stories, a division of the Kunhardt Film Foundation. KFF is an organization that has introduced a generation of viewers to artists and cultural, political, and civil rights leaders. Its interviews, series, features, and educational resources have addressed issues of social justice, history, politics, the arts, and culture by sharing relatable human stories of purpose and meaning in times of collective change.
