The Characters
Meet some of the real people who tell their stories
and share their opinions
We talked to hundreds of different people in 14 countries worldwide. With some people, we spent only a few memorable moments. With others, we spent hours and shared long conversations. Still others invited us into their lives for a few days, and we got to know a bit about their families, their jobs, their hopes, fears, and views of the U.S. and the world.
We’ll be adding new video clips periodically, as well as longer video features of some of the people we met on our journey.
