Three governments - Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh - collapsed in the last year, marking one of the most turbulent political crises in recent history.
We traverse Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines to meet the Gen Z rebels behind these movements - the first fully digital-native generation, growing up with smartphones, the internet, and social media, to investigate their sense of “grievance”.
