The Strait Guys - One tunnel, two continents, a billion-dollar dream beneath the sea

George and his fast-talking partner, a visionary engineer, Scott, take on the challenge of a lifetime: connecting the United States and Russia with a 100-kilometer tunnel under the Bering Strait.

With a $100 billion price tag and international skepticism stacked against them, the two men journey along the proposed InterContinental Railway route, lobbying world powers and local tribes for support. More than just an infrastructure project, their mission is about proving that global cooperation is possible—even between adversaries—if we dare to dream big and dig deep. This documentary is a thrilling ride through geopolitics, infrastructure, and the relentless pursuit of an idea that might change the world.
