A UFO lands in Brandenburg: The American car manufacturer Tesla is building a massive factory in the quaint town of Grünheide, Germany. It equally sparks excitement and outrage: economic hopes clash with environmental concerns, local resistance grows, and the right-wing AfD seizes the moment, highlighting a big polarization. An entertaining, yet unsettling study of a debate.
