Gosh, his series gets cancelled and he makes a big thank you video to all the people who were involved. That's really nice.

Borders will be missed! But we're excited to see where this takes you. Thanks for all the awesome videos ❤

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

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.

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 🚀

Although many of us came from Borders, I think we can all agree that we stayed for Johnny Harris.

As an educator who incorporated your films in class, I am so sad to hear this. Thanks for all you have done to date.

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💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!

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!

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!

this show carried vox, hope to see it continue in some capacity in the future

It's amazing how even journalism giants like Johnny have their idols and mentors

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.

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 ❤

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

This is sad to hear. I remember speaking to Johnny on twitter about a passion project of my own on the Southern Border here in Arizona. When I recommended his work, I found myself being attacked by both sides. I wasn't Conservative enough. I was a Conservative who had no right appreciating story telling or real journalism. I almost gave up. I've always believed political philosophy has no place in transparent journalism. I digress, my work also got put on hold moving into 2020. I recently fought the producers over rights to everything I've shot thus far, and I won. Not sure where I go from here with no budget to finish the original vision, but the journey was well worth it. Wish you nothing but the best in your career my guy.

Sad to hear it, you make some killer content

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

I started watching Vox because of Borders. Will definitely miss it.

Sad to hear the Border series is over - but I'm excited to see all the things you do next!

Oh Johnny 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'm so sorry to hear that!

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,

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 KZfaq! 💛

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!

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!

Thats really sad but I am sure it will end up being one of the best things for your career moving forward!

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.

Vox has lost one of a kind creator.

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!

The best show on Vox... :(

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. ❤️

man, launch a kick start project for your own Borders. everyone will back you up, I'm sure

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.

Honestly gutted, I thought Borders was brilliant.

Vox boarders was the show and why we are all here! But everything is better now that your doing your own thing :)

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.

Me: reads title NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

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. ❤️

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) Alex

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!

That was the only reason why i watched vox.

Can't wait for the Netflix revival: "B0RD3RS"

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.

Vox makes a 21 minute ad. Me: “Well at least now they’ll have more money to produce great programs like Borders.” Vox: “No.”

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!

¨We looked into music, and hippos, and COCAINE¨ -Johnny Harris 2020

You've done amazing stuff and I appreciate you sharing your journey Johnny. Excited to see your next venture!

Me: 2020 can’t possibly get worse 2020: I’m about to end this man whole career

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.

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.

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.

Seriously, those border videos were the best piece of content on vox for sure - my highlight was Hongkong!

Vox shot itself in the foot once again, hopefully they change their mind and we can see season 5 one day

“How the US stole...” is pretty much Vox borders USA

What exactly is the reason why the borders got cancelled? I can’t quite follow.

Too many verified people I'm afraid in this comment section.

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.

So sad to hear this. I talked about Borders in my personal statement for University. It reignited my passion for global affairs. So much so that I'm currently studying for a bachelors degree in International Relations. Thank you so much for this Fantastic series! I implore you to carry on its work independently! Hopefully this is not the end!!!

Lets petition to release Harris’s Cut Vox: Border

Vox Borders was incredible and still is. I shared those stories with everyone I know on social media and even at work I will play those videos. Boarders for me was more than a video, the people behind it did boarders an incredible story, always biased, focus on the people and the complexity of the reality. Not gonna lie, I dreamed about a boarders season on Central America or even some countries on Africa. But, new things are going to come, Johnny you did an amazing job, that's why I subscribe to your channel, you are talented. I can wait for the new content to come!!!

Not a usual commenter, but I deeply valued Vox Borders. So much so that I have shared those and some of your personal channel videos to my students in Pakistan and South Africa to help better understand and be more compassionate towards the world. They also introduced me to you, Iz, the boys, so many other talented producers at Vox and of course countless Skillshare videos 😂 Godspeed to Vox Borders, and we are here with you all the way Johnny! Keep telling deeply informative, meaningful and beautiful stories.

I'm already waiting for VOX Borders: The revival

Hope someday we get, Vox Borders, USA: The Harris cut.

I saw the whole video hoping that the title was click bait (knowing very well that Johnny Harris is not that type of youtuber) but it's actually pretty tough to hear that Borders is cancelled. I have so much to thank that series for, it made me notice that I had a huge and somewhat unexplored passion for geopolitics, and it made me realize how beautiful and complex our world is and how many incredible stories hide in the most amazing of places. I am particularly upset because I am Mexican and I couldn't wait to hear what you had to say about our shared border, the fact that it won't be released is heartbreaking. I don't understand why they decided to not air the last season, the BLM movement definitely needs and deserves everyone's attention, but I don't understand why both things can't exist at the same time (specially for the global reach Borders has) or even inform one another? and why they decided to cancel the series instead of postponing post production while they handle other pressing matters? :( I don't want your work sitting in a hard drive!!!!

I clicked every single episode the moment they were released, and I've loved Johnny in every single one of them! It's a shame to see this series come to a close, but I expect you'll find your way to continue telling stories, now that you've had these fantastic opportunities! You've grown a pretty dedicated fanbase, and that's because of you, not the stories themselves. I look forward to seeing what you have to bring us!

5:18 Joss Fong - now I understand why this artistic style is so similar. There was a specific vibe in Vox videos which made them special

You’ll be back, and we will be waiting.

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.

Borders was a great series, I loved it so much. I hope to see it back in some iteration in the future.

Borders is the most educational and accurate documentary serious I ever saw. Very sad to hear this news. But for sure we will support you on the journey to come!

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

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

Borders was the best content in VOX.

😭😭😭😭😭😭 SOMEONE START A PETITION TO RELEASE THE CANCELLED SEASON!!!!!

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

This is the first time I hit "Subscribe" when youtuber asked to Subscribe to their channel.

I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH THE VIDEO AND I AM ALREADY CRYING

your episodes made me love storytelling. Thank you John!

This is tragic. Also ... It's blasphemous that the footage is just sitting there. Can't someone use it? Even in a different capacity?

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

As a Shenzhener, I was amazed by how accurately you depicted on the “HongKong - Shenzhen” boarder video when so many entitled media corporations failed so miserably. The accurate journalism, compelling visual aid, and excellent storytelling led to my subscription to your personal channel. I am sorry to learn your show got canceled... Nevertheless, I should recommend your channel to my friends. 2020 is not easy but I am sure you would stand out and work out something soon with the quality of your works.

Thanks for the great previous seasons and inspiration. You truly opened my eyes and inspired me to research myself. Wish you all the best and I’ll continue to watch your future videos.

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

7:34 with 510K subs, 8 months later Johnny at 1.26 MM!

I really like Borders, but when you showed up in my recommended feed I thought "Oh, Johnny has his own channel? Subscribe." I would never say Vox was holding you down, because Vox had made a whole bunch of super cool stuff, but I know you've got the heart and talent to make truly amazing things. In my humble opinion, your best is yet to come, and I can't wait to see what you do.

I'm so sad this happened. Borders is one of my favorite series. I wish they just said "the series is on pause, and we hope to bring it back when things get better." And we'd all understand. Secondly, if most of the USA season was already filmed and prepped..why not release at least that partially finished material?

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

"Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened" - Dr. Seuss

This really sucks, I can’t believe we won’t get to see the USA stories told

It's crazy. I'm really waiting for the series and I was so amped up when I saw your photos with Joss earlier this year producing the series. I really hoped that some day you would like to see our borders with Malaysia in Borneo (I'm Indonesian). It's a shame that the series canceled. Really sorry to hear that. Btw, that means you are no longer with Vox is what I get, correct? That's a bummer. PS: set up a patreon might come in handy, no? PPS: read your description, you already did.

I have used borders in my high school policial science classes. Love them and the students always learn a lot.

Johnny Harris, you are amazing. Never change

I feel your pain. I've been a press photographer for 5 years. I got to see Tom Cruise doing stunts on the MI set, photograph Mike Pence arrive in the UK. Then there was the music festivals and 100s of other events. All in all I've covered 2000 stories. Now its all gone. No festivals, no film sets, no diplomatic visits. The switch was turned off with Covids arrival. We (creators) can only use what skills we've learned and contacts we've made to move on and create. Thanks for the Boarders stories and look forward to seeing your new content👊

The Cuba series is perhaps my favorite set of videos on KZfaq. I've recommended to many people. I was excited in 2017 when Borders became an official series and I waited in anticipation as you traveled country after country, educated about century-long history, and wowed us with marvelous drone shots. I was excited about the Emmy. I am sad to see it go, but I am so happy that it exists, that we were able to glance into the great mind of Johnny Harris. Amazing things to come (trust me)!

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! ❤️❤️❤️

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

Please visit Zimbabwe when you can. We have deeper stories that aren't covered by media and we have beautiful places too

This is Johnny’s high - traveling. And, through the series and travels, it has helped me a lot for the AP world history exam. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done. The history behind each of the border series’s video really helped with outside context required on the APWH exam. And as I move into my junior year for AP US history I hope your channel/series will continue to grow in support and thus help students like me.

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

I’ve been trying to find the music from the hong kong episode, didn’t realize it was original
