    In 1950, Dubai was a melting pot of peoples from around the Gulf. The indigenous Arabs were mainly pearl divers, while about half the population consisted of merchant families from Persia and India who used their foreign connections to turn Dubai into a trade hub for goods between Asia and Europe.
    But a lot has changed since then.
    The discovery of oil drastically changed the social fabric of Dubai. In this video, we'll explore how Dubai transformed into the highly stratified society we know today, with some of the highest numbers of modern slaves in the world.

      I have lived and worked in Dubai low end jobs. This documentary is wrong. Because most people who live in crowded places, do it by choice to save money. Dubai simply provides legal loops holes for people to save money.
      Similarely Dubai is pretty free place. If you have money you can do anything, no limits - if you work hard, then you come out well. Legally it is a great place for poor people to work because they can save a lot of money and send back home.

      Neo feudalism with inflation and taxes and interest, or money magic. Never can it be repayed, so the economy must eventually crumble. It’s known, expected, and planned for by the string pullers.

    “No one talks about it”, yeah, right. Everyone does, nothing new.
    It’s a shame you didn’t even highlight how it’s Western companies that sub contracts and benefits greatly from the so called “slave labour” under shell companies, which then rents out those workers to other local companies. Where thousands of British registered companies are in the UAE that benefit directly from this.

      For anyone wondering this argumentation technique and logical fallacy is called "whataboutism". Once you see someone use it you know they're full of shit and don't have actual arguments to refute what's being said.

    In 1991 over 75% of Dubai's population ran away under the percived threat of Saddam. Dubai's foreign population could do the same again. They have no reason to stay if the threat is great enough.

    I feel disgusted when everyday youtubers and content creators are trying to find a catch, either it's true or false what the content is all about.. With controversial vedio titles to attract audience.. Very stupid and expected.. About this vedio and slavery.. I have been living here since 22 years and watching this makes feel shocked.. They use rare incidents / vedios of odd people and trying to show the audience that this is happening everyday and around the clock.. This is nonsense and absurd.. Who ever steps inside this country enters by his choice.. And if he didn't like it then he can leave anytime... What a hypocracy from a westerner who claims human rights.. While we see how the world today lead by west closing not only one eye but two for all the inhuman killing in the middle east and Africa!!!

    I think the video ends up far too bright.
    The city itself ain't livable and exploitation is far too common. These things are also not addressed and they have basically no reason to do so.
    In the region there are many that try to grab a part of their market away, making it likely the emerates will also earn less. Climate change also plays a big role and will have big consequences for the country.
    We also need to keep in mind these countries are strictly Islamic. I personally believe that what they do is absolutely haram. Besides that their rules are only changed to fit tourism. In they end all serves only one thing and that is capital with the royals on top of course.
