Story: Angela Merkel's pivotal choice to open Germany’s borders to refugees in the fall of 2015 sparked a national debate—while some hailed her moral courage, others condemned her for compromising national sovereignty. What might seem like a well-thought-out plan is, in truth, a complicated mix of improvisation, unforeseen circumstances, and trial and error. “The Driven Ones” documents the refugee crisis, reflecting how political leaders are often swept along, caught between their own limitations and rapidly evolving events.
