Although many of us came from Borders, I think we can all agree that we stayed for Johnny Harris.
I totally agree, there's something about him that makes taking knowledge in... peaceful
Couldn't agree more
Amen 🙏
Im here to see what the other side thinks.
😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Gosh, his series gets cancelled and he makes a big thank you video to all the people who were involved. That's really nice.
He should sell the series to another platform like the guardian or something
Well to be fair VOX has been going downhill for some time so this is not surprising but at the same time did not think they could cancelled something.
@@edwingrove1442 Unfortunately, that's not how it works. When company is paying for everything you do, they own everything you create. That's why companies own all the intellectual properties and not the employees who worked hard developing them. That's why people with bright ideas choose the route of start up.
@@gj780 why doesn't vox sell it then. If they are no longer using it
@@edwingrove1442 May be because it could make America's current situation even worse. May be there is some controversial material in there like there in Vox Borders India series (You won't know how controversial it is unless you are from there). In US, we are already more divided than ever so may be Vox just doesn't want to make things worse. One thing for sure, they invested quite a bit of money in it and corporations don't let investments go that easily unless there a real good reason behind it. If it is saleable, why won't they publish it themselves?
He got dropped by Vox, then turned around and continued producing content of identical quality. I have a feeling they're going to regret letting him go
Definitely!
I would imagine most journalism nowadays are going to be regretting a lot of things as it has become less about quality and more about getting clicks. (Forgive my reasoning doesn’t match up with the video I saw this comment before watching it in its entirety)
His narratives are becoming a little too much for vox, given how mainstream it is becoming. A lot of his content is not "good" for the algorithm bc it's "controversial"
@@EthanThomas33 what are you on about? Vox has become more explicitly political and agenda driven since his and Ezra Klein's departure.
honestly if we see independent creators like johnny are doing much better than big media companies
Damn, what a shame. Borders is what led me to discover Vox. I really, really appreciated the Hong Kong series, especially. Thanks for all your work, Johnny. You've made a difference out here in the world in my corner.
Me too, I got hooked because of the HONG KONG story, I am working in HK now so it meant a lot .
Same thing for me Borders led me to Vox. Johnny you are a consummate pro. I miss Vox Borders and who knows maybe we can still enjoy it on PBS.
Me too but I watched the Nepal episode
It's the opposite for me, Vox led me to discover Borders. I'm actually a conservative so it was pretty hard for me to watch Vox but I did it anyways because either of boredom or wanting to know other opinions. I'd say Borders was the only good thing Vox had which wasn't really that politically driven.
Couldn't agree more
Borders will be missed! But we're excited to see where this takes you. Thanks for all the awesome videos ❤
i mean you could pick up the idea while doing road trips 😉
US state boarders! Could be interesting to find stories/differences between (for example) Minnesota and Wisconsin!
It surely will Kara and nate! I didn't know you guyz loved borders, now I love you guyz even more!!!
jhonny doesnt need vox. just makes BORDER yourself.
You is BORDER and BORDER is you
From India just love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻
I love love loved Vox Borders, it's how I found you and Iz. It's definitely sad to see this chapter end, but I've been loving what you and Iz have been doing on your own channels and I'm so excited about new doors that'll open as a result of this one closing. Y'all have taught me so much about storytelling and editing and filming and y'all really inspire me to do better every time. So thank you. Onwards and upwards 🚀
omg glad to see one of my other favorite content creators on here! glad to see you enjoy Johnny's amazing work as well. I feel like we're only going to see him go up from here.
Yeah same
Link to private channel plz?
Nvm Lol didn’t notice this wasn’t vox at first.
I'm sorry but that series was widely misinformed and debunked.
As an educator who incorporated your films in class, I am so sad to hear this. Thanks for all you have done to date.
Thank you for being an educator who uses modern information and media! Not sure if that's the norm where you are, but I only had a few teachers who strayed from textbooks, and I really appreciated them. For context, I graduated HS in 2016.
this show carried vox, hope to see it continue in some capacity in the future
Hi wirbly
Sad to hear it, you make some killer content
Bruh
Nebula next?
Come back to us when it’s safe to travel again
Huh, Rare Earth has very similar content to Vox borders, both are some of my most favorite series on the internet, and played a huge part in molding me into who I am. Borders will be missed.
@@christopherbollinger4180 he just posted a video
Oh Johnny 🤦🏻♂️ I'm so sorry to hear that!
Same
So sad but understandable at this unforeseeable end to the status in our cross border travel situation... hopeful just a pause on these great stories and story telling from Johnny!
Johnny is literally the only reason I watched Vox. He was the only journalist I really enjoyed there, who just tried his best in really telling an interesting story, without cringey social commentary. Big up for you Johny, keep up the hard work💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!
It's amazing how even journalism giants like Johnny have their idols and mentors
Sad to see this chapter come to a close but also incredibly excited to be beside you for this next chapter and get to witness the meaningful and beautiful work you're sure to produce ❤
I absolutely agree Iz! I think we all look to what Johnny will create in the future along with you!!
Love watching your explorations
Wishing you both the best. I learned so much from borders, it’s made me want to travel even more. Nice to hear Johnny shout out to those who taught along the way.
New adventures for Johnny and his orange poofy jacket.
Aah the two of you have built one of my favourite corners on the internet.❤️
This is very sad. I'm so sorry this happened. I'm optimistic you will have another amazing large scale project of this caliber again!
agreed, this was an amazing project and I know with his video skills he's off to amazing things :)
@@labadaba5088 How is it ''leftist propaganda''? I thought you conservatives are for free speech and against ''cancel culture.''
Derek Welk ??
How come no one is reacting to THE WheezyWaiter here!
Johnny can turn even a sad announcement like this into a fascinating story! I don’t think any of us doubt that he’ll do amazing things moving forward!
this makes me so sad, the borders series and honestly lots of your other content at vox helped push me towards pursuing a degree / career in geography - thank you for all the stories and as bummed as i am i’m excited to see what’s coming next
Imagine having the opportunity to be at the place and meet the people who your talking to about where your topics originated from.
That's a gift to always be grateful for.
I started watching Vox because of Borders. Will definitely miss it.
Wish Borders continues somehow on other platforms / channels.
@@lordoftheworld1176 Yeah hopefully. Funding could be the biggest roadblock though.
Me too man. Worse news of today
Same here
So am i !
This is so sad but it strangely feels like a great opportunity for you to flourish and do so much more than if you were only at Vox. I can't wait to see what you accomplish going forward!
Carlos Maza has been out making independent content recently and it's amazing. I liked him a lot before already but now I'm a huge fan. I'm sure Johnny can do the same :)
This is tragic. Also ... It's blasphemous that the footage is just sitting there. Can't someone use it? Even in a different capacity?
무슨 얘기하면 저런 찐사랑스런 표정이 나오지..??
얘네 서로 뭐라고 말했는지 맞혀볼사람~!!?!?!?
정답은 th-cam.com/video/BGKKSEVL4g4/w-d-xo.html
Tragic? Debatable. Blasphemous? Hahahaha...was that auto correct?
The first season of Borders absolutely blew my mind at the time, and should be seen by everyone for so many reasons. Thank you for the work you've put in these projects. They matter
You don’t need Vox. Why on earth would you want a giant media corporation to literally own your creative work? You can absolutely do this on your own and you should.
Let me know if I can help.
Sonny Side and Johnny Harris collaboration = MIND BLOWWWWWWWWN. I've been a BEFRS fan for years and so as your work Johnny. Perhaps Sonny can indeed help out!
He said it in the video, those giant media corporations got him into places he would not have been able to get to himself.
Hi Sonny
YAASSSS!!! We need Johnny + Sonny collab
You guys have to make something happen! That would be amazing!
This blows. I loved VOX Borders. I know the world is changing, but there are more stories to tell because of the changing world. Selfishly I want more videos. I'm so glad you will make videos on your personal channel. Hopefully, we can keep the growth going to get you your own team and continue pushing towards telling the stories we love. Thanks for all the hard work and you have a whole bunch of people who are here to support you,
Borders*
I remember and im so sorry your dream my dream everyone's dreams are on hold until we either put down this plandemic
or for me , before they stick a gates to hell needle in my arm ...see you on the boarder of somewhere other than earth.
@@labadaba5088 Just out of curiousity. What do you see as propaganda?
@@labadaba5088 mmm not completely true a lot of it is also has nothing to do with politics at all. Is Vox left leaning yes. But a lot is also educational. like Earworm for-instance i love that show :D
This would have been the time when it was most needed, but instead they cancel it. Makes no sense.
Feels surreal finding this out now. I've just recently found your channel after getting into Borders and its just so nice to know it seemed to work out for you
You’ll be back, and we will be waiting.
Sad to hear the Border series is over - but I'm excited to see all the things you do next!
Hi Spagetti Road! Love Your Videos!
Spaghetti Road hello you also watch jonny
Nice to see a TH-camr I enjoy watch other things I enjoy watching
It’s the flag man!
It's you!
Vox borders was and will forever remain a treasure and an inspiration. No matter under which setup, thanks for all the amazing stories you bring to TH-cam! 💛
why there are no replies lol..
@@Kingsley_shetty yeh
Why was it cancelled? Was it a budgetary or content based decision? Just curious. Love your stuff!
@@DaJesuts no cause of the timing and covid 19 im pretty sure
Some things in life end, and then that ends, and then that ends, and then you end up having exactly what you needed! Happy for your content!!
I’ve only just discovered your personal channel, but I fell in love with the Borders series. You are such a great story teller, you connected with me, informed me and enlightened, enchanting. Beautifully written and edited film. And yes the music was magical. Thank you for the magic
It’s absolutely beyond me still why on earth would such a great series get cancelled. I hope some iteration of it gets a Netflix show
Borders was the whole reason I subscribed to Vox. Honestly gutted that we won't be able to see the last set of stories. But honestly the work you're doing on this channel is great and I get my first paycheck in a few weeks so you can add another patron to the list. :D
Borders was the reason I started using youtube :D
I really hope he keeps telling stories the same way
The Borders was the most interesting series in the Vox like Worth It in the Buzzfeed. Kudos for your support.
same with me
Same here
Thats really sad but I am sure it will end up being one of the best things for your career moving forward!
This is the first time I hit "Subscribe" when youtuber asked to Subscribe to their channel.

Sad to see you leave Vox. The Borders series was inspiring, informative and a really exciting watch. However, we love your personal channel and are definitely looking forward to your NYT project. If you're up for a collab with us at some point, pls do reach out! Best of luck, #terramatters!
he is with NYT?!
nvm i just got to the end of the video
The best show on Vox... :(
I SECOND THAT!
I love that the project you were teasing with The New York Times just won an Emmy! That's so cool!
You honestly made vox what it is. It’s not the same now
🤧
Vox has lost one of a kind creator.
And its best series
VOX is not gonna be the same without Borders ;)
-_-
They lost Carlos Maza too
@@dariel312 Yeah :(
@@dariel312 At least he's doing well on his own channel.
In the end of the day, we’re not here just for Borders, we’re all here on your channel cause we love your video making and story telling. Vox or no vox, I know I’m still super excited every time I see a Johnny Harris video pop up on my feed. Looking forward to more beautiful content and seeing where you go with this channel next!
💯
That's why we're here 😁✌

I came to borders from the Haitian merchant stories that gave me my first look at my motherland and I’m so grateful for the respect and honesty put into telling their stories without bias. I’ve loved every story I’ve seen since and it’s sad to see it go. There really is a market for telling untold stories like these and I just wish we had to capital to survive 2020
Hi Johnny
I'm 16 years old and I live in a small town in Scotland. For most of my life I've not known what I wanted to do. I was disinterested in everything I did and which eventually lead to depression. When I was 14 I came across borders. I couldn't believe what I was watching, as I just found it so incredible. Borders helped me out of a really dark place by sparking my desire for travel. Which still exists to this day. Thank you for Borders.
Noah i hope you get to travel the whole world !
Hey Johnny, like so many of us I've saddened by this news. But keep your head up and keep telling stories from around the world in whatever way you can. With the state of the world right now, we need your brand of carefully researched and honestly told storytelling more than ever before. Bigger things for you are still to come!
i wonder why.. oh well there are other...
*everyone liked that*
I LOVED Vox Borders. Borders was by far my favorite thing to watch on TH-cam. It captured humanity from all around the world.
release the footage !!
Hey Johnny. Just want to shout out to you. THANK YOU. Without you, I think the situation in HK (or other conflicts in other parts of the world) won't go noticed like now. I remember the first time i watched your series about HK my home, it's so detailed and accurate. It's sad that it's cancelled but I am sure you will do more inspiring series for sure!
I've watched hours of your content and just finding this video explains so much on how your editing style has evolved into something so crisp
man, launch a kick start project for your own Borders. everyone will back you up, I'm sure
Yeah, but he should bring her editor along. You can tell when he's not edited by Vox's team.
He probably has a no compete clause.
You can support him on Patreon 👆
Me: reads title
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Me too.... Literally HAHA
Same :(
Exactly the same
EXACTLY 😭
My EXACT reaction on seeing the title
I think the documentary on the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic was one of the best.
I'm from th eCaribbean and have travelled extensively, but I really learned a lot about the history of the "conflict" between them from your documentary.
Johnny Harris, you are amazing. Never change
How have I never seen this series before? And why am I cursed to find out about it after it’s been canceled? I’m excited to dive into it from the beginning, but I’m also incredibly sad for you and this chapter coming to an end. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with because I know it’ll be great. Thanks for sharing your talent. ❤️
soundlyawake honestly, it has been such a great series!
I'm so jealous I'm not you.
Amazing series! Binge it. It's super good.
Same
Watch the film he did on partition. It’s absolutely incredible. He gets to the heart of the problem so sensitively and brilliantly.
Borders was a huge, vital part of some really tough years of my life. It helped me stay grounded and be better when I had every reason to fall apart and let myself change in bad ways. Really looking forward to seeing what you’ll make and where you’ll go next, though I’ll miss borders a lot!
Respect ✊🏻
Please keep creating documentaries on borders and geography! I love Vox Borders so much! It puts my love of Geography and geopolitics in these beautiful and amazing documentaries. Thank you for your commitment to Vox borders! ❤️❤️❤️
Your Borders series plus other episodes on Hong Kong is what led me to pursue my EPQ on the area and ultimately why I decided to pursue Geography as a uni degree in the end. Now I'm starting my first week at Durham Uni for Geography, and I'd attribute a large amounut as to why because of you, so thank you for these videos and excited to see what comes next :)
Honestly gutted, I thought Borders was brilliant.
Agree!
Vox boarders was the show and why we are all here! But everything is better now that your doing your own thing :)
Ditto... we are here because of your work on Borders. It was the most exciting thing I looked forward to from Vox. We are excited to see you bring more to the TH-cam community through your own channel!
been watching your videos since I was a sophomore in college ( now 24), and I’ve noticed how a lot of big media outlets tried to emulate your format on their TH-cam presence! You’re a game changer, keep doing you bro
I have used borders in my high school policial science classes. Love them and the students always learn a lot.
But WHY is Borders canceled? How did the pandemic and BLM movement affect the issues being covered. The segment at 0:22 doesn't explain why. I feel something deeper in Vox's internal affairs happened and Johnny Harris isn't allowed to say why.
right? im so confused why is it canceled? It makes no sense these are small standalone stories only link through that they are USA related no? So it would make sense to release the completed ones just like if the Hong Kong borders were released but you didnt do the one about U.K relations to H.K.

Johnny, I can't stress the impact Vox Borders had on my life. I first started watching your videos in 2016 and it opened my eyes and ultimately shaped my career as a video producer covering Government affairs in the UK and abroad. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and I'll support you all the way.
It was a phenomenal series. Your storytelling was captivating and presentation style will be missed. Hope you can keep telling the stories you love!
Borders have been my favorite series on TH-cam, and this truly broke my heart. I find my self coming back to you all the time, and have showed borders to so many friends. I will continue to follow your work and I hope you one day will be able to continue the series😁❤️ You have truly inspired me with your work and I thank you for showing me so many beautiful stories❤️
Vox makes a 21 minute ad.
Me: “Well at least now they’ll have more money to produce great programs like Borders.”
Vox: “No.”
That was the only reason why i watched vox.
same.....
Same here
Same
same!
Same I just re watch the johnny videos my favourite one is the Norway-tesla one
some of the most interesting videos ive ever watched on youtube are borders videos, always such an experience
I'm amazed by his gratitude towards everyone ❤️❤️ He is suddenly dropped from where he was...broken ..but still he is making great content for us...hats off... We are with you
Borders made me realise that there's more to the story than what we hear from our media after watching india and srilanka episode. Basically being a Tamil, I hate srilankan navy for all the killings and atrocities on our fishermen. But having learnt abt the real reason and the hardships our fellow Tamils go through on the other side of the border made me realise how one sided journalism and politicians our country have.
Thanks to you, I've learnt so many through the series, though the borders is cancelled, I believe greater things are coming through ur channel.
❤️
Indian media is the worst bro...Indians complain about CNN and BBC being biased but Indian media outlets like Republic TV, Wion, Zee News, OPIndia are far worst. They incite and inspire hatred, violence, communalism and polarisation of society. Most Indian outlets have been sold out to politicians with their extremist ideologies. They always focus on religion, Pakistan, China, oppositions parties and topics that don't matter. For example, most Indians don't actually know about the condition of Kashmir with the Internet ban etc, most Indians didn't know about the Chinese occupying parts of Ladakh and no one seems to compare about the crashing economy. Instead they waste their time on bollywood celebrities, picking stars like Kangana Ranaut as their political spokesperson. Freedom of Press and Speech in India has deeply worsend. Anyone questioning the government will be shouted down immediately. We need to improve before we get state run media like China.
Exactly that hit me hard how a foreign media showed the reality while the useless local media busy with mediocre stories to divert people from actual issues
Yes, let's just hate the Sri Lankan navy because you're Tamil. Let's ignore the fact that Indian fishermen act like our maritime borders don't exist, and that the vast majority of actions taken by our navy result in arrest and detention. Not death.
And saying that you can now empathise because the people suffering in Sri Lanka are Tamil is just plain racism. It's new to see racism so boldly and unapologetically stated in the twenty first century. What if those fishermen in Sri Lanka were Sinhalese? Or Muslim? Would Indian fishermen destroying our fishing stocks be completely alright then? You talk about the pros of independent media without actually being a half decent person. I.e. not racist.
It's a shame really, but then again, one can't expect much more when we had Tamil Nadu's chief minister donating to an extremist secessionist group that committed terrorism for fun every other Tuesday. Where was the outcry then? Nowhere.
@@thithirajayakody9718 I accept that the group was a terrorist organisation , but u have to accept the atrocities commited by your army as well , it's well documented the atrocities commited by both sides.
@@varunsubramanian5484 .....where did I deny it? The only way forward is accepting what happened, and I've never said a word to the contrary.
When on door closes, another one opens!
Johnny, someone in the comments said: "Although many of us came from Borders, I think we can all agree that we stayed for Johnny Harris." I loved this comment, liked it and felt like it said how I felt. But not short after I heard you talk about your love sharing stories about how the world works, this hit close to home! My wife is expecting and I can't wait to share what I know about the world already, but I am even more looking forward to the things he/she will teach me about the world. YOU are one of the reasons I sit at our big family dinner tables and talk about travelling, borders, breakfast routines worldwide, how to take a picture of a galaxy etc. You enrich so many peoples lives with your stories. 500k is just a number, later 1 million will be just a number. But each and everyone of these numbers is a person you connect to in a very special and beautiful way! I came from borders, but I will damn sure stay for you, for Iz and your boys! And I am very sure, watching the new "Johnny Video" about whatever it will be, will be one of the things I will enjoy sharing with my child.
I am stoked for what is about to come and you can be sure, I am definetly not the only one!
Much love from Germany (interesting border stories by the way! And close to good old switzerland, too :P)

This comment is so wholesome! Also congratulations and good luck with your family! Love from India 🇮🇳
@@vaibhavdhabale4863 Thank you! I hope you and your family are all safe and sound amid this pandemic. Stay healthy :)
I am surprise to see such similarities in how one feels. @damrag1991 Wish you all the very best for the next stage of life, Take care!
Wow thanks for this. It means a lot
Sorry to hear the series is ending; your and your editors' work is part of what brought me to Vox. I'm hoping to see more from you in the future!
Hi Johnny. Thank you for the videos. Borders really, really sparked my interest in the non-nerdy stuff of geography. I’m a failed journalist and Borders really showed that some stories are already there, as a line along the map.
And thanks to you, I’m now a mapmaker.
You should release it, they are historically valid episodes of a precovid world, pre social rights change again, and the calm before the world wide storm. The world has fundamentally changed. What you made is about a world that may never be that way again. It will be as contextually valid as news clips pre ww2 vs post ww2. Just without the whole war thing.
👍
As a history teacher, I totally agree! It seems like a total shame to abandon something that documented an era... pre-covid, pre-BLM part II, etc...
I agree. I mean why let all that work go to waste simply because "the world has changed" this year? I don't understand that rationale. Do these recent events magically render those stories irrelevant all of a sudden?
But at any rate, Johnny is such an amazingly talented creator of compelling stories and stunning visuals (and maaaaps galore!!!) that he'll have plenty of more adventures just around the corner. 💚💚🏝
He probably doesn't own the rights to them, Vox does.
Can someone explain why would the protests would have anything to do with Borders ? I don’t get it.
Can't wait for the Netflix revival: "B0RD3RS"
Johnny, the primary reason I subscribed to Vox was because of Borders. So, I will gladly hop on this channel and keep supporting! I know it's a long shot, but I hope one day we'll see bits of unreleased footage for Borders USA. If not, I'm sure you'll find ways to reconvey them. Thanks for everything, your work is amazing. Best of luck in these strange times, and here's to an even better future ❤
Johnny, I cannot CANNOT wait for you to do something similar to borders again. My family’s from hk and I actually started watching your videos through that series. Your videos are amazing, I really hope for your future success, and hopefully come the pandemic is semi over and things open back up, you can travel the world and document for us again.
Me: 2020 can’t possibly get worse
2020: I’m about to end this man whole career
He can create more for this channel! The right sentence is it has boosted his career!
DiD he say this is permanent? The vaccine is around the corner, countries will reopen next year, everything will be back to normal next year, he can continue with borders, I just dont get his way of thinking. Will he concentrate on whats going on in the US? wasn't very clear
What man's career? He still has a job.
Im just going to say this out loud... VOX SHOULD GIVE YOU GUYS THE HARD DRIVE WITH ALL YOUR WORK & VIDEOS. It doesnr make any sense to leave it somewhere not to be used.
yeah or at least fuck it and release it uncut so the people can cut it and reupload it . If you dont want to bother with such great work then just give others the chance to do something with it
I believe he used the information and maybe the scripts to recreate the show here? I mean, there are a bunch of American border videos, so...
That's unfortunately not how copyright works at all
I am so happy I found you.. I had no idea Borders series was cancelled
the way you edit those documentaries is the reason why i subscribed to your channel
Borders was my absolute favourite series on Vox. It's honestly the one I looked forward to the most when it came to new episodes, so I am pretty disappointed that it's been canned despite the new US edition being practically done. Given the circumstances happening in the US right now, I can definitely understand the reasoning behind shelving it but I would be lying if I said I wasn't crushed about it. I do hope one day that you'll be able to resume the series in the not-too-distant future, Johnny, and thank you so much for all the incredible work you did with it and I hope the news hasn't hurt your personal motivation too much moving forward. The passion and dedication you have for your work is inspiring.

Sounds like a night out in Miami
Big support for you wherever you go, just don't stop making videos!
The only reason I type Vox on my youtube search engine is to watch Vox Borders. Please don't stop doing what you're doing
You've done amazing stuff and I appreciate you sharing your journey Johnny. Excited to see your next venture!
didn’t expect to see u here lmao
Yo are u gonna be the next guy without a moustache
Nice seeing you here Mark
Vincent Duong have u seen my comment before?
Hey coolmark i used to watch your videos but now i hace stopped playing c- ops
What exactly is the reason why the borders got cancelled? I can’t quite follow.
Same here. 🤷♀️. I wouldn’t have been confused if he hadn’t put in the montage in the beginning saying it’s a crazy world. I would have then thought that it’s bc of the covid.
Ellisa Kim yea I thought it’s because of the COVID or the blm movement according to the clips at the beginning but I can’t figure it out why that would cancel these awesome dokumentary series so I’m really confused atm
I’m also confused, why would social events and covid make it inappropriate to air a docuseries?
Yes, can someone please clarify?
Probably money. Maybe Vox can't support a "travel" show or the costs of such travel when no one else is traveling.
You single handedly re-sparked my love for geography and travel, thank you.
Wow I just came here after getting recommended one of your other videos. Just realised that you were part of Vox Borders, a series I really enjoyed previously. No wonder your videos are captivating and give the same vibes
Man, as a video producer for another big company, I can't help but think Vox is CRAZY for not finding a way to keep you doing your thing. I know there's always complexities we don't see, but you are truly talented and your videos are second to none. Regardless, I'm excited to keep following along and telling other people to look you up!
Lets petition to release Harris’s Cut Vox: Border
Yes, I'm up for it. Either Vox could release it once election season is over, maybe to wind up a bit with pandemic videos in between or they could let Johnny own it. A lot of people need to care about it though, there's not interest unless there're enough views (money) involved. It would be a shame to let everything that was recorded and produced go to waste just like that.
I've just found out about this guy, and while I feel the thickness of the sad atmosphere, I can't help but to feel anticipation for whatever he does next! I've always thought that I hated history and the slow boring typical way in which it is normally presented... but his style of delivering this material has changed my mind completely! I can't wait to hear and see more about places that I've even been to or lived in myself because he brings a total different energy to his delivery and I hang on to every word and visual that he speaks about! Thank you/Mahalo!!! Much Aloha.
3 years. 3 Years to start at 500k and shoot past 5M. I’m sort of speechless on your dedication and refined focus to quality visual storytelling. 👏🏽 bravo sir.
Seriously, those border videos were the best piece of content on vox for sure - my highlight was Hongkong!
Agreed 100%. Hong Kong touched me in a way that no other travel documentary has before. :')
I am from HK and I learnt so much more about my country! It was amazing to see how Johnny had documented HK story and the history.
I am still confused by this descission. Borders hat the highest viewership numbers on Vox and for non Americans it was basically the only interesting piece of content.
Vox shot itself in the foot once again, hopefully they change their mind and we can see season 5 one day
Absolutely! They've been drifting towards light-hearted, quirky content that is cool, yet lacks the compelling power and deep thought of borders. They need to balance themselves or this will spell doom for their channel.
I absolutely **LOVED** the Borders series. Great stories and by far one of the best series on TH-cam. Every episode was a joy to watch. So glad that I found your channel! Keep up the good work! Hopefully we will see the USA series in the future.
Tom foxs music is just so good, it makes video more alive almost like the video is trying to speak itself and it really make us who watch the video more emotionally connected
Borders is the sole reason why I subscribed to Vox, and when I found Iz's channel and then watched you start your channel I was so hyped. Sad Borders is gone and I hope you get to release some of the footage/stories you captured while you were working on Borders USA one day.
I miss when Vox did documentaries instead of news. It was a place to find serious informative content that didn't just focus on todays political drama. Borders will be missed.
I’ve been trying to find the music from the hong kong episode, didn’t realize it was original
The stories you have brought to us have genuinely expanded my horizons, all I can say is that I’m grateful for videos of the kind you make and excited for what you will do next. Cheers
Too many verified people I'm afraid in this comment section.
Why lol?
I'm already waiting for VOX Borders: The revival
Perfect for Netflix! But only with Johnny.
I hope it gets as many revamps and sequels as ‘Halloween”
I knew there would be a comment to the effect of 'bring back borders'.
Thank you for inspiring me to do what you do. I've always had the urge to do this but didn't know it was possible. Once I found your channel, I knew i could do it!
My family is from Colombia. I showed my mom the video of Borders Colombia and she really appreciated how you presented the information. She also loved how you showed Colombia's beautiful side of the wide selection of fruits and cumbia. This is only a bump in the road. Keep pushing forward!
Man I loved your videos and your edits.
