Three-part Herald video documentary, 'On the border,' captures snapshot of life on the border in northwest Minnesota

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, and the U.S.-Canada border remains closed to nonessential travel, the Grand Forks Herald this past fall went to see what’s happening in northwest Minnesota around Lake of the Woods and in border communities such as Lancaster, Roseau and Warroad.

What did we find? It depends on who you ask and where they’re from.

Our multi-part documentary series, “On the border,” launched Friday, Dec. 18.
