Globalization was once seen as a guarantee of economic growth. But fair trade is increasingly losing its relevance. The poorest countries are the losers, with little access to global markets and their populations largely excluded from the opportunities that migration offers. Free access to global markets would have increased prosperity and ensured peaceful coexistence among nations. But which countries benefit from global competition? Which countries avoid it, protecting their economies at the expense of those who can least afford the risks? And why does free trade promote the free movement of goods while restricting the movement of workers? We travel across the United States, Peru, Senegal and Europe to find out who benefits from globalization and who suffers from it. A former steel mill in the German city of Duisburg has been able to manufacture again thanks to a deal with China. American steel mills are in decline, and they blame China and globalization for it. Under the slogan of America First, the United States began to support the industrial and agricultural sectors with billions of dollars. But this protectionist support brings with it more suffering to poor countries. A country like Peru is strongly linked to globalization, but it has achieved only limited success in the field of combating poverty. It is also clear that the global migration movement benefits only to a very small extent from globalization. In Spain, agriculture suffers from a shortage of workers, but the European Union opposes opening the door to immigration. At the same time, people flee Senegal in search of a new and better life, because their country has fallen victim to global greed embodied in illegal fishing, or the acquisition of agricultural land by global companies. The Chinese, on the other hand, have been among the winners in the competition for work and immigration. They have long received a proper education and learned to make appropriate plans to achieve their ambitions outside their country. This two-part documentary sheds light on the stories and destinies of individuals in a globalized world. #Documentary #DocumentaryDW ​​#dw #Globalization #Migration #Senegal A call for dialogue at DW: https://p.dw.com/p/OYIo More documentaries can be found on our websites in English: http://www.dw.com/ar/tv/docfilm/s-3610 / dwdocumentary / dw.stories
