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.

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. As Life Stories, the organization will build on the legacy of the Kunhardt family’s award-winning documentary filmmaking – including 8 Emmy Awards, 2 Peabody Awards, a duPont-Columbia Award, an IDA Documentary Award, and two NAACP Image Awards – and continue its work to showcases diverse perspectives and the importance of connection in an era when the world needs it most.
