The Internet, world travel, international business, and ever-expanding political spheres of interest have turned the 20th-century concept of the global village into the dominant reality of the 21st century. This timely four-part series uses compelling documentary footage from around the world to zero in on the effects and implications of widespread religious fundamentalism, a globalized economy, the ongoing fight for women’s rights, and the worldwide war on terrorism—issues that, in one way or another, impact the lives of everyone. A Films for the Humanities & Sciences Production. 4-part series, 26-29 minutes each.
