With "Globalization in Crisis" as David Syz's fifth documentary, he focuses on the settings of his previous four films and examines what has changed, what has stayed the same – and what has gotten worse.
Globalization has reached a tipping point, you might think. Regular news reports on touchstones for the internationalization of trade in goods, trade barriers, supply chain bottlenecks or politically motivated restrictions like "America first" put the brakes on globalization. And the biggest question remains: How can everyone benefit from globalization.
David Syz goes to the locations of his earlier films to ask what has changed and takes stock of more than a decade of globalization's past in these places.
