About the Project

TOM BRADLEY’S IMPOSSIBLE DREAM is a unique and innovative multi-tiered media, five-part project to restore the legacy of Bradley and teach and inspire future generations of young people and leaders.

1. TOM BRADLEY’S IMPOSSIBLE DREAM:  A 90-minute high definition feature documentary designed for television broadcast (PBS) and theatrical release.

2. EDUCATIONAL VIDEO:  A 30-minute educational video and study guide for inclusion in middle and high school curriculums.

3. INTERACTIVE WEBSITE:  A multi-layered, interactive website designed to create a two-way conversation with users. The website will engage people to share their stories about Tom Bradley online and at story stations throughout the city.

4. TOM BRADLEY FILMED ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION:  A collection of 100 hours of interviews, filmed for the documentary and educational video, and preserved as a permanent archive of the stories and recollections of the important events and accomplishments of Tom Bradley. This collection will reside both on the film’s website and on site at the Tom Bradley archives.

5. YOUTH WORKFORCE PROGRAM:  A training program for young people from underrepresented and underserved areas, which will provide the opportunity to learn video research, production and editing through hands-on experience working on the documentary, story stations and website.
