We The People Ride Documentary

We pedaled 3,265 miles from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida. Along the U.S.–Mexico border and beyond, we listened to the people most impacted by America’s immigration practices and policies. We heard their stories, witnessed their struggles, and experienced their resilience.

Our documentary, We The People Ride, brings audiences face-to-face with those stories. The current 60-minute version already captures the urgency and humanity of what we saw. Now, in the final stages of production, we are expanding the film to a full 90 minutes — giving space for more voices, more depth, and more truth.

The 90-minute version will be entered in major film festivals, with the intention of securing a streaming distribution deal and theatrical release. This expanded version is how we will bring these stories to a much wider audience.

To finish this work, we need to raise $25,000 in October.

Your support right now takes We the People Ride across the finish line. This stage of funding covers the editing, production, and final finishing work that prepares the full 90-minute film for entry into festivals. And if you give $100 or above you will receive a complimentary copy of the goodness. journal.

With this goal met, the film will be festival-ready—polished, complete, and positioned for audiences, theaters, streaming platforms, and distributors to discover.
