Per our last post, you gave great suggestions on where we should go for our "American Middle Class" series.

We are thinking about starting an "American Middle Class" series.
Why? Well, we've documented America's richest and poorest towns, but feel like we need to better cover the people in the middle.
What towns, suburbs, or regions should we cover for this series?

What stories should we cover in the UK? (England, Scotland)

Before we shoot in new places, I look for inspiration by watching movies that capture them well. Our most popular video ever came after watching Deliverance, one of my favorite movies and a great look at Appalachia in the 1960s. Tonight, ahead of making some videos in Scotland next month, I watched Trainspotting — a powerful and entertaining look at Edinburgh in the 1990s.
What are some interesting places we should cover and good movies that capture them well?

Capturing the world without bias or fear
Our founders quit their jobs in August 2020 because they couldn’t bear consuming divisive, biased, and fear-mongering news any longer. News media had been deteriorating for years; the pandemic accelerated the trend.
Our founders envisioned a media company that helped people live happier, healthier, and more informed lives. They set out to create convenient news products that did that.
“Roca” is short for “Pororoca,” a biannual wave that sweeps the Amazon River. Surfers come from across the world to surf the Pororoca; it’s a wave that brings people together. That’s Roca’s mission with the news.
