From space, Palm Jumeirah looks like a perfect engineering miracle—but satellite data tells a different story.

This documentary investigates the hidden crisis beneath Dubai’s most iconic landmark and asks the question nobody wants to answer: Will Palm Jumeirah survive the century it was built to define?
