Daniel Troia

Just like a lot of Americans, Daniel Troia had 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, he decides 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”, Daniel listens to stories from the people that lend a helping hand and learns 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, his perspective on the country changes and he realizes that there is much more that brings us together, than what separates us.
