It started with students and spread into a nationwide movement. In this clip we break down what's really fueling the unrest in France.

Malcolm and Thomas get into the protests sweeping France — a youth-driven movement that's escalated across the country over the cost of living, crumbling public infrastructure, and how the government is spending its money. They talk through the violence and arrests that have followed, and the deeper story underneath it: a generation of young people fed up with a system that doesn't seem to be working for them. It's a French headline, but the frustration driving it is one young people everywhere will recognize.
