Description
I make videos showing you a world that the media fails to capture.
No BS polarization or political angle—just pure authentic interactions with the locals.
I present the story. You present your own opinion.
We'll learn about the people of Appalachia, the Chicanos, and the Native Americans. I dive into the full range of America, from the Amish to the Bloods and Crips.
The goal is to get into someone else’s world to understand them and ourselves better.
The ingredients are: a GoPro, simple editing, curiosity, a search for truth, and most importantly, authentic human interactions.
I’ve lived abroad in four countries and traveled to 85. I've taken this perspective back to the USA to show Americans and the world what this great nation is like away from the mainstream media.

What's even more sad, is that closed walmart came in, killed off all the mom and pop grocers that had probably been around for a century, then realized they'd overestimated and closed it down, leaving a massive, brutalist brick store to decay in the beautiful woodlands. Walmart and large grocery chains are convenient, but they're also tragic.

I was an international student from Ethiopia when I first came to the Appalachians as part of our senior retreat . I went to a very expensive high school in Chicago and at first our teachers were warning us how we may receive racist comments from the locals . First, I’d like to say how welcoming they were to me. Secondly I never thought poverty at this level existed in America . We stayed there and built them a house and everything they needed. That was an eye-opening experience and I would do it again ! I hope every American visit the Appalachians ! America is NOT only New York or California !! ️️️

My favorite part was when you talked to the boys who were fishing under the bridge. They challenge our preconceived notions of what kind of kids we’ve been led to believe they might be. Four hard-working, straight edge boys, including a diesel mechanic, a manager, and an eloquent and intelligent kid with a full ride to college. Humbled me.

It really upsets me how these towns were abandoned. The urban layout of the towns make them look very walkable and feel like a community; they look better than most car dependent urban areas nowaday.

As a Kentuckian I can not express how happy I am that you are visiting these places and giving these folks a voice. You are humble and open minded and this kind of journalism (or whatever you want to call it) is desperately needed on the internet today. Thank you for your work- you can be assured that you def aren't part of the social media problem you talked about :)

Watching from France, it's kind of refreshing to meet this side of America. Thanks for the tour, nice people there, far from wall streets

In my opinion this is the type of stuff that should be on Netflix. So respectful, empathetic, considerate, sincere. If documentaries like this were widespread and mainstream, things would change. Seriously.
