In the premiere episode of Season 3 — titled “Archives and Social Justice” — the SDCELAR team begins their journey across the US/Mexico borderlands. Nestled in an archive room at a cultural center, they uncover materials—letters, photographs, and posters—linked to migrant activists and community organizers.

The episode shines a light on how these archival fragments fuel stories of solidarity, resistance, and belonging. Through candid discussions with local archivists and historians, listeners witness how social justice movements persist—even when documents risk being overlooked.


🎧 Our Role

We handled on-site audio recording across multiple locations, delivered seamless coordination among contributors, and wove everything into a cohesive narrative in post-production. Ambient sound from the archive, subtle field recordings—even the echo of footsteps—builds an audio atmosphere that transports you inside the space and urgency of the discovery process.


✨ Why It Matters

This episode embodies the spirit of On The Road—listening across borders, respecting local knowledge, and decoding heritage in real time. It sets a powerful tone: archives aren’t passive objects—they’re living entry points into struggles, connection, and change.
