Huck Across America Pt 1: Ward, Colorado — In the first of our new series Huck Across America, we visit Ward, Colorado, a self-run town in the remote Rockies.

Huck Across America is a new documentary series where we hook up with locals to find out what’s happening on the ground.

In this pilot mini doc, Huck climbs up the Rockies to check out the self-run town of Ward, Colorado, a unique place where residents have a radical take on the American Dream.

Check out more from the Huck Across America series.
