Globalization in crisis
Globalization seems to be in crisis. Governments simply cannot find the right recipe to meet the increasing demand for labor in favor of trade and the economy. Why else does free trade promote the unrestricted mobility of goods, while migration of labor is being restricted? And this to the detriment of people who want to work but are not allowed to. As a consequence, the shadow economy thrives and forces men and women to flee, live, and work under precarious conditions.
Based on these questions and contradictions, we travel to Spain and Senegal. We are searching for the causes of migration, which also have to do with rich countries exploiting poor countries. And we tell the stories of migrants and communities that benefit from globalization in the competition for work, but also suffer from it.
