A team of riders biked 3,265 miles across the U.S. to listen to people most impacted by immigration. Split Focus followed them to make Who’s the We?, a documentary film that brings those stories to the screen.

About the Film

A team of riders pedaled 3,265 miles from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida, along the U.S.–Mexico border and across the Gulf Coast, listening to the people most impacted by America’s immigration practices and policies. Along the way, they heard their stories, witnessed their struggles, and encountered their courage, faith, and resilience firsthand.

Split Focus followed the journey to create Who’s the We? A Cross-Country Ride of Discovery, a completed 98-minute documentary feature that brings audiences face-to-face with those stories. The film follows a diverse group of riders as they meet migrants, border residents, advocates, faith leaders, and community members on both sides of the border, asking a central question: Who belongs in “We the People”?

The film is now complete and will start screening this summer. A one-hour version will premiere on PBS stations nationwide, as well as on the PBS app and pbs.org, beginning in September 2026.
