no image
A series of drama-documentaries looking beyond the familiar surface of Britain to a shadowy culture. The films dramatise interviews with real people in three different worlds:

Prostitutes - telling the stories of people who ply this trade, from high-class escorts to a gay brothel worker;

Vanished - about people who start completely new lives;

Smugglers - exploring the culture and psychology of those who choose smuggling as their trade, from desperate refugees to criminal masterminds.
