Johnny could you please please please restart the Borders series. The last time I watched one was a couple of years ago and the Colombia episodes were the best for me. Two weeks ago I went to Colombia and I went to Paloquemao to try all of the fruits you tried. The other two episodes that stood out to me was you in the boat crossing from Haiti to the Dominican Republic and the living conditions of people in Hong Kong. I hope Borders can restart because there are plenty of stories out there that we don’t know about but that can also be shown to use in a unique/learning way like you did in the Borders series.

Hello Johnny, I am arriving a bit late to the party, but I have really loved your Borders videos and have been quickly working my way through them. I was wondering if that song you wrote that was used in the Hong Kong series (and starts at 1:02 of this video) is available anywhere for listening or download (YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud, etc.). I have been looking for your song without any success and I think it captures the overall spirit of your Borders productions, as well as many of your personal projects. Apologies if I missed it somewhere! Great job all in all, your productions are fascinating!

My thought is just don't have content but a lantern on how we see things around us, its a great responsibility. Johnny Harris Borders would be a good title🎉

You are a great journalist in a world where journalism has all but died and been replaced with activism.

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

This is one of my favourite series of all time. A brain expanding eye opening experience. I owe that to you!

@NatiDeNut

You honestly made vox what it is. It’s not the same now

@jameshalle6808

I love that you won an Emmy award without Vox
On your New York post video
Keep rocking Johnny

@jameshalle6808

Box did Johnny dirty
We all love you Johnny
Love you story telling
Keep up the amazing work and never give up on your dreams

@jameshalle6808

Vox Borders was the reason I turned on the bell’s channel. Never done this to another channel.

@Lukas_RM

I have always waited for your Borders episodes because I have been always interested in the borders of countries and life beyond any border. sad to hear this, but there will be a far better story for your life than Borders. Thanks for Vox Borders!

@rohitkharat2610

4:06. Mr Ballen. Tell me I’m wrong

@Wyantstripes

What a cowardly move. It's like you won't show the truth, because it can offend someone.

@plfatalerror

Can you elaborate on how the events of circa 2020 changed the USA fundamentally and caused the cancellation of the show despite having shot it? I know you hinted about it at the start. What does that mean for these type of (fantastic) videos in the future? i don't mean doing your own stuff (which is great) but I mean more re the appetite from media orgs.....

@LDSvideolibrary4298

Johnny Harris I fell like you’re a good friend of mine and I come to you’re channel couple times a year to check in on you ! Hope you’re doing good

@oswaldoperez9166

I love that the project you were teasing with The New York Times just won an Emmy! That's so cool!

@cheekyb71

this show literally carried the entire vox channel in the political-side, damn

@edpersona_l

Imagine being the person who decided to cancel Borders and let Johnny go.

@EwoutterHoeven

Maybe you should've told the truth in the first place about Haiti. Lies get us nowhere.

@LeslieAnneCookSustaita

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

@RaihanU23

Ugh..."hard hitting" journalism....the magic of season one was its "light" effect. It didn't set out to highlight tough issues, it was a factual depiction of great stories told with a light touch.

@rovermiles1

Huh, sponsorship by the world economic Forum 🤔
Capitalism is good?

Bit sus mate

@quimblyjones9767

What is the name of the song on 7:24?

@rjray5132

As Korean, I would love to see more videos about the northeast asia. Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are pro-West democratic state, but the inside is quite different. There are many interesting topics such as the how the one party system works in Japan, why is so called 'developmental dictatorship' controversial in Korea, how was the conflict between native taiwanese and chinese fled to taiwan island..

@kli1440

Does anyone know what the meaning of the color code on the map behind him is?

@Jesse-xn5qr

Restarted borders. Loved it

@siddharthbhandari9178

What in the heaven is this!! I love vox boarders!!

@xXHelsingGamingXx

I watched the new York times video. It's how I got to know you. Pretty amazing stuff.

@RayRay-yt5pe

Lol if muslims are persecuted in India why are there more muslims in India then in pakistan which is an islamic country??

@shinigamilight1510

What happened to the video about where your dead body ends up if you donate it to science? It's deleted for some reason (did they force you to?)...

@kaiusshort

I've been a Vox fan for many many years and will continue to be. But what I see on your channel now is better. Like, drastically better.

@esuus

Your Colombia video was what led me to Vox, and even your channel. I’ve e been watching you since. What a shame. Your series will not be forgotten.

@paoloplayssoccer

hey can someone tag a playlist that contains all vox border related videos (even the ones johnny starred while in vox too)

@rohitjorige5346

I was wondering why there was no new episodes that sucks :/

@SpxrtanJDM

We all came to see and hear you my brother..vox who?

@papepcool

Only a few days ago I found you again with the Afganistan " winners " video, and knew you were part of another channel. I'm super glad you still make these amazing videos. Good luck!

@robertm.8653

Lots of love and respect from India
And congratulations of course

@Aditya.S1

Hey, you should look into the “relationship” if you can call it that. Between USA and Puerto Rico. Thank you, very much.
