Good Neighbours

The Flint water crisis leaves unauthorised immigrants in the dark in Michigan.

We travel to the Michigan city of Flint and learn why unauthorised immigrants are so imperilled by the city鈥檚 lead-contaminated water system. We consider whether a Scandinavian-style welfare state could ever work in America. And, why Canadians want to turn away from the US elections, but just can't help themselves.

Plus, the secret plot to destroy Syria鈥檚 weapons of mass destruction. How Russians and Americans have teamed up to rescue Sochi鈥檚 stray dogs. And, the soulful songs of a Mexican singer, who muses about the American dream.
