John Drew, a current Media Studies student, is part of an ongoing, online mosaic documentary about the U.S.-Mexico border region called Border Stories. A team of four, including John, travel the border's entire length, from Brownsville, Texas to Tijuana, Mexico, producing a collection of short, focused video installments, or "border stories," that aim to deepen the understanding of the unique challenges the region faces.

Border Stories was nominated as a finalist in the 2008 Online News Association best in video journalism category; and in December, won the top prize at the Internews Every Human Has Rights media award ceremony held in Paris, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the UN's declaration of human rights.

Given the changing nature of the border region, the crew hopes to post fresh stories to the Border Stories website  collection every year.
