Rise of Populism

On our world travels, we’ve discovered a global trend— popular distrust of establishment politicians, be they left or right. People everywhere seem to be drifting away from the main, traditional political parties. Street protests in Chile, the Czech Republic, Lebanon are part of a global upheaval that some embrace but others resist as dangerous to democracy. And what’s next is anybody’s guess.

Smuggling Tunnels

To call this place remote would be an understatement. For miles, there’s nothing but sand and canyons. This is southern Tunisia, not too far away from the Libyan border, but to millions of fans around the world, we’re on a small desert planet far far away, on the galaxy’s outer rim.

The Danish Debate

We begin with a very American debate that’s underway in Europe where a quickly-expanding Muslim population is testing tolerance on all sides. Nowhere is the discussion more heated than in Denmark. In three short decades, that small country has gone from almost no Muslims to hundreds of thousands -- a bigger proportion of the population than other European nations.
