Beyond Borders

The Country That Evicts Its Own People

Denmark is one of the happiest places on earth. So why is its government forcing thousands of people out of their homes on account of where they live and who they are? Adam Charlton and David Foster go inside Denmark's controversial "Parallel Societies" policy - a social experiment that's demolished neighbourhoods and broken up communities. Now it’s being legally challenged as potentially unlawful racial discrimination.  They meet the residents left behind in near-empty tower blocks, the lawyer fighting to bring the whole thing down, and the activists who took 50,000 signatures to Parliament, only to be ignored. The Danish government calls it integration. The people living through it call it discrimination.  What happens when the state decides your community is the problem?  Watch the full documentary, "Ghetto Blasted: Integration or Discrimination?" and tell us: is this pioneering social policy, or state-sanctioned discrimination?  Leave your comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XReHIUWekU&t=30s Hosts: Adam Charlton, David Foster Executive Producer: Alice Tegg Editor: Nathalie Kantaris Diaz and Emine Gezici Ustundag From neighbours living with the threat of war between NATO and Russia on their doorstep, to breakaway micro nations, repentant child soldiers, and rat-catchers risking their lives - you can find our entire back-catalogue here: https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondBordersTRTWorld ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

No Pain, No Spain: Why Spain Can’t Survive Without Migrants

Norway: Land, Language and Loss

For generations Europe’s oldest living culture was told to be ashamed. Its language silenced, its identity suffocated. Now a new fight is unfolding in the Arctic. Not against the past but over progress, and the use of traditionally Sami territory for Europe’s clean energy goals. But this time the struggle isn’t just against the government, it comes from within, and the unspoken power-struggle inside the Sami hierarchy.

Welcome to Liberland: Freedom or Fantasy?

Welcome to Liberland, the self-declared micronation in the heart of Europe, that claims to be building a new country from scratch. Sold as a tax-free utopia with no government interference and a crypto-powered economy, Liberland has attracted libertarians, adventurers, and digital nomads from around the world.   But is this bold experiment in freedom a genuine blueprint for the future of nation-building, or an elaborate illusion built on disputed land that it may never legally control?   Beyond Borders investigates the vision, the politics, the believers, and the controversy behind one of the world’s most ambitious and polarising attempts to create a new country.   Watch the full programme here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpByXa-LnRM&t=111s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpByXa-LnRM&t=111s]   Hosts: Adam Charlton, Connor McLaughlin & Caoimhe Willemoes Show Producers: Connor McLaughlin & Caoimhe Willemoes  Executive Producer: Alice Tegg Podcast Editor: Connor McLaughlin   From communities living with the threat of war between NATO and Russia on their doorstep, to Sri Lanka’s repentant former child soldiers, to the New York rat-catchers risking their lives - you can watch our entire back-catalogue of shows here:    https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondBordersTRTWorld [https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondBordersTRTWorld]   Get in touch: beyondborders@trtworld.com [beyondborders@trtworld.com]   ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
