The back-to-back specials are set to premiere on Smithsonian Channel on Thursday, March 28, at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour of <em>Europe in Chaos<\/em>, titled &#8220;Brexit,&#8221; tells the story of how British Prime Minister David Cameron ended up calling for the referendum despite favoring remaining in the EU. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs William Hague, former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg recreate the internal arguments that led to Cameron\u2019s decision. The special also features insider accounts from the U.K.\u2019s EU allies.<\/p>\n<p>Titled &#8220;Migrant Crisis,&#8221; the second hour will show how European leaders struggled to address the influx of refugees arriving on Europe\u2019s borders from Syria and North Africa in 2015. The crisis ultimately exposes a division between East and West, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and others offer sanctuary while Eastern European countries argue to halt the flow of migrants and send them away.<\/p>\n<p><em>Europe in Crisis<\/em> comes from documentary filmmaker Norma Percy (<em>The Death of Yugoslavia<\/em>, <em>Endgame in Ireland<\/em>, <em>Putin, Russia and the West<\/em> and <em>Inside Obama\u2019s White House<\/em>). It is produced by Brook Lapping Productions and Smithsonian Networks in association with BBC and France Television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smithsonian Channel and the BBC have partnered to explore the origins of Brexit and the migrant crisis in Europe in Chaos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[517,3488,180],"class_list":["post-12309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc","tag-europe-in-chaos","tag-smithsonian-channel","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Smithsonian Channel &amp; BBC Align for Europe in Chaos - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Smithsonian Channel &amp; BBC Align for Europe in Chaos - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Smithsonian Channel and the BBC have partnered to explore the origins of Brexit and the migrant crisis in Europe in Chaos.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-26T16:23:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-02-26T16:32:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/europe-in-chaos-smithsonian-0219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/\",\"name\":\"Smithsonian Channel &amp; BBC Align for Europe in Chaos - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-26T16:23:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-02-26T16:32:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/smithsonian-channel-bbc-align-for-europe-in-chaos\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Smithsonian Channel &amp; BBC Align for Europe in Chaos\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
