Paris was once considered the crown jewel of Europe—a city known for its beauty, culture, elegance, safety, and national pride. In this episode, we compare stunning footage of Paris from the 1950s and 1960s to the scenes dominating headlines today: riots, burning vehicles, clashes with police, and growing public disorder.
How did one of the world's most admired cities arrive at this point? What changed over the last several decades? And why do so many people feel that modern Paris bears little resemblance to the city their parents and grandparents remember?
We examine the recent unrest across France, discuss the political and cultural debates surrounding immigration, assimilation, crime, and national identity, and explore why these issues have become some of the most controversial topics in the Western world.
Whether you agree or disagree, the visual contrast between old Paris and modern Paris raises difficult questions about the future of France and Europe as a whole.
