Director Biography - Daniel Troia

I have spent the last 18 years of my life learning alternative ways to travel the world, and connecting with people from different cultures.

Director Statement

Just like a lot of Americans, I have been feeling all of the tension in the country, which made him question just how connected we really are anymore. Determined to find out if we truly are as divided as it seems, I deccided to set off on a cross-country bicycle journey with no food, no money and the hope of gaining a better understanding of the human connection.

Equipped with hidden camera glasses and a sign that says, "Ran out of food. Anything helps", I listened to stories from the people that lend a helping hand and learned that those who face the most adversity in their lives, often have the most to give.

After spending 7 months on the road and meeting a diverse group of kind strangers, my perspective on the country changesd and I realized that there is much more that brings us together, than what separates us.
