World Without Borders is this frontline reporter’s cri de coeur against the ‘wall sickness’ overrunning the planet and a call to arms for the emerging radical NO BORDERS! movement.
The film follows Miller around the world as he meets fellow travelers on this revolutionary pathway.

Origins of the Pandemic
In association with ZED France
Did the COVID-19 pandemic occur naturally or is it the result of something that leaked, from a laboratory?

And their reputations are on the line. But they persevere.
