UG#521 - Walling Us In and The Illusion of Separation

Robin Upton, 23-10-2010 07:21

This week, we continue our series on separation, we look at wall building by governments to keep people separate.

It finishes with a condensed speech by Jaggi Singh on migration and the growing No One Is Illegal resistance movement. Read more >>
