Jason’s most in depth documentary saw him cover the subject of immigration, both legal and illegal surrounding the chaotic border between the U.S. and Mexico.

How imagery is Changing Our World- Ted Talk by Jason Lanier
We live in a time where the majority of people have access to drones, smart phones, action cameras and more to capture content. And with Youtube, Tiktok, instagram and Facebook, everytone on the planet has the power to publish and distribute their version of events through pictures, videos and written words. So how do we discern the truth from lies? Will we harness this incredible power to be able to shape the world to be a better more unified place? Or will we use this power to sow divide, fabricate the truth and create even more chaos? Jason discusses his pursuit of using his position as a photographer and film maker to try and show people what's taking place on this planet. He challenges you to look at what's really happening vs. the set of beliefs that you want to be true, even if they aren't.
