Kobe Bryant presents Mission: Kobe Bryant- a 5-part series on homelessness in LA [video]

 

“Skid Row is literally a few blocks away [from the Staples Center], but it’s not something that really registers, it’s something that you kind of look over, because homelessness has been a part of our culture for so many years, it’s just something that kind of fades in the background without you really driving by and really thinking about a person’s story and how did they get to this point and what’s keeping them there.” -Kobe

LA has the highest population of homelessness in the U.S. Kobe Bryant has started a foundation to combat that. Mission: Kobe Bryant is a 5-part series that shows life on Skid Row through some of the inhabitants eyes.
