The Uneasy Future of Germany's Refugees

Last summer, as headlines showed thousands of Middle Eastern refugees struggling to reach Europe--and often dying in the process--Germany set itself apart from many in the international community by warmly opening its doors.

Now, harnessing fears of immigration and disdain for the media, far Right groups are seizing the moment to advance their cause. Ilya Marritz went to Germany to witness the shifting tide of public opinion and examine how a decades-old media rule could tip the discourse in either direction.
