Who's The We?

WHO'S THE WE? follows Doug Pagitt, a Minneapolis-based pastor and activist, as he leads a small group of riders on a 66-day bicycle journey tracing the length of the U.S.-Mexico border and the Gulf Coast toward St. Augustine, Florida. Doug undertakes the journey to confront the stories many Christian conservatives have been told about the border and the people crossing it, and to learn firsthand what those narratives obscure. Along the way, the riders encounter migrants living in precarious conditions, volunteers and aid workers offering assistance and protesters who believe the country is under attack, exposing competing narratives about danger, fear, faith and nationhood. Set against the stark beauty of the borderlands and the long roads that bind the nation together, the film asks not only how borders are enforced, but how belonging is defined.
