No matter where you turn, it seems that the taut lines of borders
are vibrating to - or even calling - the tune of global events
Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in
human history. Beginning with the earliest known example, Crawford
travels to many borders old and new: from a melting glacial
landscape to the conflict-torn West Bank and the fault-lines of the
US/Mexico border. He follows the story of borders into our fragile
and uncertain future - towards the virtual frontiers of the
internet and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate
change. As nationalism, climate change, globalisation, technology
and mass migration all collide with ever-hardening borders,
something has to give. And Crawford asks, is it time to let go of
the lines that divide us?
