Since being launched on Facebook Watch, More in Common has racked up more than 10 million video views.

The show features stories of Americans of different backgrounds coming together and finding common ground.

One segment about a former KKK member who befriends a Muslim refugee generated 5.8 million views and is one of the most watched of the funded news shows on Facebook Watch.
