— Teddy Kunhardt, Executive Producer
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Life Stories, a nonprofit media organization that produces films about people whose lives inspire meaningful change, announced it will release Season Two of THE THREAD, its flagship documentary interview series on YouTube on October 7.
Each episode of THE THREAD features an exceptional individual who shares the paths they have taken to lead a meaningful life. THE THREAD will be made available to the public through the Life Stories website (LifeStories.org), Life Stories YouTube channel, and as a podcast across all major platforms.
The series launches shortly after Life Stories received its Emmy win for THE SILENT WITNESS: A SURVIVOR’S STORY OF HIROSHIMA. The film won the 2024 News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Documentary and represents the first Emmy for Life Stories.
“Our mission, as both a nonprofit and as filmmakers, is to amplify the voices of inspiring people who have helped shape our society while preserving their stories,” said Teddy Kunhardt, Executive Producer of The Thread. “We’re honored to be recognized by the News & Documentary Emmys for this work, and we believe that the latest season of The Thread builds on that mission: shining a spotlight on individuals who inspire personal change and help bridge the divisive nature of public discourse today.”
Following the successful debut of Season One, Season Two of THE THREAD consists of 16 new episodes featuring never-before-seen interviews with James Cromwell, Kris Tompkins, Wolfgang Puck, Suleika Jaouad, and other notable figures.
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.
