  • My name is Johnny Harris and I make videos here at Vox.

  • I spent my entire last year

  • traveling around to different places making documentaries on the topic of Borders.

  • I'm excited to announce that Borders is back. I'm hitting the road again to go tell

  • the story of some of the most interesting places in the world.

  • We're stuck again.

  • The first location for this next round of Borders is going to be:

  • Hong Kong.

  • I'm doing things a little bit differently this time. Instead of going

  • to these places to focus on one major topic and to make like a 15 minute

  • documentary about that topic,

  • I'm actually gonna be making a lot more

  • videos from these places.

  • I'm gonna stay there a little bit longer and make more

  • videos that are more narrow and a little bit shorter.

  • Wait, so no more sweet

  • documentaries with all the fancy graphics?

  • No, no no no no. That's not what I'm saying.

  • These are still gonna be beautiful, really well produced pieces, they're just gonna be a

  • little bit more narrow in their scope and they're gonna be shorter, but there's

  • gonna be a bunch more of them.

  • Okay, cool.

  • As always I'm looking for your help in finding and reporting these stories.

  • If you live in Hong Kong or Macau or have traveled there or read something

  • interesting about it, I want to hear about it.

  • It doesn't necessarily have to

  • be about conflict or the political situation, it can be about an interesting

  • community or an interesting restaurant or figure or person.

  • I just want to know

  • what's worth explaining about this peculiar part of the world.

  • If you do have some ideas, I want to hear about it.

  • You can go to Facebook or Instagram and

  • DM me.

  • Now if you do live in Hong Kong Macau and you want to meet up with me

  • when I travel there next month or you want to contribute to Borders in some

  • other way,

  • go to: vox.com/borders-local

  • where you can fill out a form

  • telling me a little bit more about yourself and how you'd be willing to

  • contribute to Borders.

  • This could be anything from me asking you to film

  • something on your cell phone that you see every day or filming a part of your life

  • that would be really interesting for these stories.

  • So the last thing I'll say is that we just created this Facebook Watch page,

  • which is a Facebook page basically optimized for viewing videos.

  • That's where I'm going to be posting all the Border's content first, so if you want to

  • kind of subscribe or follow Borders content only, that's the place to go.

  • It's gonna be a lot cleaner than following my personal pages which are usually like,

  • photos of my family.

  • If you want just the Border's content, go follow this page and

  • you'll get a notification every time there's some new update or new video

  • Okay, housekeeping items out of the way.

  • Borders Hongkong is officially in motion.

  • I'm excited to hear what stories you come up with.

  • And yes I plan to wear this orange coat until the day it comes unstitched.
