Why now
The disease takes no breaks: my muscles grow weaker every year, and one day I won't be able to work like this. I didn't wait. A year on the road will earn me an audience and a media channel — work that takes two fingers and a head. It will feed my son and me.
How it works
I'm riding to the self-made
I'm on the road all year. Once or twice a month the route brings me to a hero — someone worth crossing half the world for. Every visit becomes an episode in several languages.
The visit
A stop on the route — someone who built their life from scratch.
1–2 days together
We spend a day or two living their everyday life — work, home, conversations. The camera rolls along the way, no list of questions.
The episode
The footage is cut into an episode — released in several languages at once.
Between episodes — posts, stories, live streams from the route. Heroes are pinned on the interactive map below.

In a year I'll have my own media, born on the road.
