He is one half of the identical twin duo alongside his brother Finn Harries, with whom he co-founded the popular YouTube channel JacksGap in 2011 to document his gap year travels. The channel quickly grew to millions of subscribers, evolving from lighthearted vlogs and challenges to in-depth documentaries on social issues like mental health, education, and environmental justice. Over the years, Harries has directed films addressing climate change, forced migration, and mental health stigma, including works featured at festivals and on platforms like CNN and BBC. A vocal advocate for sustainability, he has participated in Extinction Rebellion protests, including a 2019 arrest during a demonstration against the fossil fuel industry. The son of television producer Andy Harries and writer Rebecca Frayn, he attended The Harrodian School and has built a career blending storytelling with activism, amassing a global audience through his thoughtful, purpose-driven content.
