Summary
This two-part series explores one of the shadows of globalisation - the current worldwide boom in illicit human smuggling and human trafficking by listening to the voices of survivors. The film puts a human face on trafficking to reveal the circumstances that drove these migrants from their homes, the difficulties involved in their epic journeys, and what awaits them in their new world. Dying to Leave follows the compelling stories of individual migrants and their often harrowing experiences. Each film interweaves the stories of three migrants from different parts of the world and places them in a global context.
