S1 Ep9: Border Wars: Placing the ‘migration crisis” in perspective

This is episode one of a series on Border Wars: Placing the ‘migration crisis” in perspective.

It explores the rise of border walls particularly in the last three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and analyses some of the systemic reasons behind what has been termed the “migrant crisis”. Follow-up episodes will focus on the corporate interests that stand to gain the most from existing migration policies, and explore ways in which communities are reaching out and building bridges instead of walls.
