Beyond Borders
Welcome to the Beyond Borders world tour. While much of the media talks about people, we listen to people. Telling the forgotten stories shaping our shared history. Beyond Borders is a global study of the human experience. An exploration of what unites and divides us, through the eyes of ordinary people living often extraordinary lives. From Sri Lanka’s former child soldiers, to Greenlandic inuits fighting for justice, and New York’s rat-catchers risking their lives - you can watch our entire back-catalogue of shows here: www.youtube.com/@BeyondBordersTRTWorld Beyond Borders is a TRT World original production Hosted on Acast.

And where those trying to report what’s happening have been targeted by Moscow’s spy network. This is a community living with the threat of war between ...
Land remains one of South Africa’s most divisive issues. Thirty years after apartheid, communities still clash over race and space.

Rival gangs are fighting for control of South Africa’s untapped gold, creating a black market worth billions - and costing the country a fortune in lost revenue. Beyond Borders is on the trail of the so-called Zama Zamas, as they are hunted by police, to uncover their deadly underground world - and ask whether the government is guilty of using inhumane tactics to stop them.

Human trafficking is at a record high in the UK. Insiders say as many as 100,000 people are affected. Many of them come from Romania, where poverty, unemployment, and woeful social support makes vulnerable individuals - especially women and children - easy targets for traffickers.

So why is Romania still such fertile g...

And can i...
Sri Lanka has been plagued by civil war, natural disaster, political turmoil, and economic collapse. Beyond Borders meets those determined to rebuild their country after decades of misfortune, from a new government taking on a powerful political dynasty, to children freed from years of unbelievable cruelty, and China's multibillion-dollar bet on the island's future.
