Exposure (2011): Season 10, Episode 3

10 - 3: Hunting the People Smugglers

This summer more than 6,000 people are estimated to have made perilous journeys across the Channel packed into flimsy dinghies, most intending to claim asylum in the UK. Adnan Sarwar reports on the smuggling gangs making huge profits by putting desperate people onto the English Channel. He unpicks the gangs' operations, identifies the key individuals and reveals the wider network that handles the illegal payments - before finding himself witness to clandestine crossings as they're launched from French beaches.
