A World of Walls

A World of Walls (2017)

EndedDocumentary show

Some of them reinforce borders. Others divide the same population. Some seek to stop the refugee flow. Others hide poverty. Or fear. Or war. Or inequality. Or climate change.

Folha went to four different continents to uncover what - and who - lies behind them.
