Each episode of Border Blaster takes viewers on a journey through the diverse landscapes and populations of the Americas. The show highlights the music and art forms that have grown out of the unique cultural melting pots of the region, from hip hop and cumbia to street art and muralism.

But Border Blaster isn't just about entertainment. The show also sheds light on the political and social issues affecting communities across the Americas, from issues of immigration and border control to the fight for indigenous rights.

The show's production team works with an extensive network of journalists and activists across the Americas to bring their stories to the screen. In doing so, they work to connect audiences with voices and perspectives they may not have encountered otherwise.
