Borders Series by Vox


Borders is a series by Vox where its host and journalist, Johnny Harris, investigates and interviews how borders defined by man effect communities, culture, or the environment of the area around the border. 

“Every border has a different origin story and a different character. Borders can encourage exchange or instigate violence. They can provide refuge, or they can criminalize those who cross them. Borders symbolize a nation’s anxiety about the world, and as political leaders regulate the lines on the map, there will always be human stories at the mercy of those choices.” - Vox.com

Johnny highlights how borders impact those who live around them and draw on those stories to bring journalism that is passionate and compelling. Many of these stories have rarely or never been told. Johnny shows that sometimes of the greatest stories come not from the heart of a nation but at the borderline.
