Synopsis: Sex. Drugs. Exotic animals. Human organs. With the right amount of money, theyre all there for the takingand much closer than youd want to think. Crossing the globe from Asia to Africa, to the Americas and Europe, our host, Nelufar Hedayat, goes under the radar and just out of sight to track down these thriving black marketplaces. What Nelufar finds is a world of profit-driven dealers, compliant middlemen, bribe-taking officials, poachers and smugglers who operate vast transportation networks, packaging factories, safe housesall the while moving enormous amounts of money. The numbers surrounding the worlds underground markets tell a story equal parts horror and human. In the last 40 years, 95% of the worlds rhino population has been lost. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals have captured 0 billion on the black market. And perhaps most alarming, human trafficking has reached dizzying highsor perhaps more appropriately, staggering lowsas a billion global industry. Plain and simple, if theres a demand for it, it canand willbe trafficked. In each of the eight, one-hour episodes Nelufar traces the supply chain of one good from consumer to source and finds that the illegal world is often closer to the legitimate one that you might think. She explores the causes and effects of trafficking: species hunted to near extinction; miners forced to pay protection money to terrorists; people forced by poverty to sell their organs. Travelling by plane, taxi, boat and rickshaw, Nelufar makes her way through bustling markets, down dingy alleyways and into more than a few dead ends, as we witness every step of her investigation. In the world The Traffickers shows us, well find more questions than answersand perhaps see that things are not as black and white as they first might seem.
