Mitch Gariador started working on the website 'Bridge to the Pyrenees' in 2009, as a means of sharing with the public data about the Basque immigrant community of Southern California “collected over 35 years,” as he explained in a conversation with EuskalKultura.com. The website has not been widely advertized “because I don't think I even uploaded 25% of the information we have.” But now, by adding these interviews, “we're ready to make the website known.” Along with Gariador, Jeanette Bidart, and Marianna Etcheverria are also conducting and filming the interviews, that are being shared with Memoria Bizia as well.

It is surely one of the ETB programs that has sparked the most international interest even before airing one episode. 'Origen' brings people from the Diaspora to Euskadi who are looking for their roots, and accompanies them on this process of discovery. The news of its recording ran like wildfire and the producer has received hundreds of letters from people wanting to participate. The first season will air in September and if it is well-received, they will continue to record new episodes.
