Around the world, young people are rising up and in some places, they're actually bringing down their governments. From Nepal to Madagascar, Gen Z protesters are fed up with corruption, inequality, and leaders who seem completely out of touch. They're organizing online, inspired by movements half a world away and somehow even united by a pirate flag from the anime One Piece. We talk to Meenakshi Ganguly, Deputy Asia Director at Human Rights Watch, about why this generation is taking to the streets, how these movements are learning from each other, and what their success could mean for democracy in the years ahead.
