Huge Thank You to @johnnyharris and the team at Vox for inspiring me to create this series.

Vox Borders was an international documentary series by Emmy-Award winning producer Johnny Harris exploring life at the edge of nations. The series explored things like how the Radcliffe line changed Punjab and how communities are affected now, Hong Kong is the most expensive housing market in the world. It has been ranked as the least affordable housing market on Earth for eight years in a row, and the price per square foot seems to be only going up. The inflated prices are forcing Hongkongers to squeeze into unconventionally small spaces that can affect their quality of life, Haiti and the Dominican Republic share a border, and an island. But the two countries are very different today: the Dominican Republic enjoys higher quality of life for many factors than Haiti. I went to this island and visited both countries, to try and understand when and how their paths diverged. And I began to learn how those differences are playing out in the present, Like many nations, Japan is undergoing a surge in right-wing nationalism, the brand of nationalism that is skeptical of globalization and outsiders. But while Japan's nationalism looks similar to other right-wing movements in the West, when you look under the surface, you see a totally different story, Japanese vending machines, north koreas bubble in Japan, how 156 years of British rule shaped Hong Kong, Indian trucks are works of art, building a border at 4,600 meters,India and Sri Lanka’s violent fight over fish,why Colombia is losing the cocaine wars,why Colombia has taken in over 1 million Venezuelans
