Voices Reveal The Heart of Bona's Basketball Tradition
Below find snapshots of the 70+ interviews recorded to date. We've traveled thousands of miles with many noteworthy and key interviews with players, coaches, staff, alumni and community members completed, we're halfway home. After 5 years of filming, months of editing await to reach the completion of BROWN n WHITE requiring the right team of skilled professionals to reach national broadcast. As St. Bona's enters a new era, our taking time now to tell this untold story, while we can, matters enormously to completing this journey.
