For thousands of years, humans have drawn lines on the earth, dividing the planet into nations. But there are some parts of the world that no empire, nation or state has been able to tame.
In this episode of Borders, Johnny heads deep into the Himalaya mountains to learn about how people have lived away from the concept of borders. China and Nepal are acting fast to develop this remote region and it's having major effects on the local population.

I love how "Borders" gives insight into issues I didn't even know existed. Great work, Johnny. Keep it coming! 😄

The best thing about this video is that the title uses metric measurements.

When Johnny says "man this place was never meant to be tamed" and the music goes up. It hits different.

Incredible journalism - well researched, filmed and edited. Best documentary I've seen in 2017
-
This documentary is so good that I feel like we don’t deserve to watch for free. These types of documentaries should be shows in schools around the world.

Lot of Tibetans in India,even in South Indian Cities like Chennai. Nice People, generally keep to themselves, and interact with a lot of North-Eastern Indians . They love football. And i learned "Teshi Delek" which roughly translates to Hello in Tibetan i Think.

Haven't clicked a video as quick as I did this one. Love the Borders series.
-
Warm Greetings from Nepal :) I have seen most of your episodes. Never thought i would see my country on your channel. Life there in Mustang is extremely hard but equally beautiful. Your footage did justice. :) Thank you. P.S I think i saw you in Thamel, Johnny.

This happened to Ireland 150 years ago. Outside forces changed the culture irreparably. History repeats.

I did the Annapurna Circuit a few weeks ago. It was so sad to see the abandoned villages. We asked a local what happened. He said, "This community was established 700 years ago. In the 1980s everyone just left."
