The documentary is hosted by former U.S. senator Bill Bradley. Actor Yaphet Kotto narrates the first program and actor John Shea narrates the second program. A separate training video and manual are available. Funding for the program was provided by The Ford Foundation and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
