Hello all!
Here is my background:
I am a television producer in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have always had a
keep interest in borders -- how a line on a map is translated to a line on
the land. How lives are affected on both sides. How much of a difference
the line can make.
I have traveled much of the US/Canadian border... and spoken
with/photographed people on both sides. There are some unique
points on that boundary -- such as Point Roberts WA, which just hangs below
the 49th parallel. It is surrounded on 3 sides by water and to the north by
Canada. School children travel through Canada to get to their school on the
west coast of Washington state.
I also am fascinated by the ideologies that these lines separate. I have
been throughout Bosnia and Croatia (producing a documentary) and have seen
what happens when new borders are created and destroyed. I want to visit
the DMZ in Korea...
perhaps from the North, and peer across into the South. There are many such
places I plan to one day visit.
And why I'm a member of this list...
Regards,
Doug Murray
