Season 5 Episode 18: Asia's Biggest Disneyland to Open in Shanghai

As the opening day nears for Shanghai Disneyland, the first Disney theme park in mainland China, a wave of excitement grips the country's avid fans. This interest in what was until recently an agricultural zone on the outskirts of the city has translated into a major windfall for local landowners, who see the value of their plots increased several times over. Those that give up their land are granted sudden wealth. Meanwhile, ambitious entrepreneurs adapt in their own way, staking their fortunes on the success of the park. This episode looks into the opportunities, challenges, and troubles accompanying Disney's long-awaited arrival in Shanghai.
