title: The MIGRANTS
author: Boyd, Sam
description: Jack Turner, Mel Doyle and the SF20 team are on an undercover mission to get justice for migrants and the victims of illegal trafficking and smuggling. It is a billion-dollar business run by powerful people. What they don't know is they themselves have become part of the problem. While solving problems within their extended family, they discover a web of deceit and intrigue that has involved them in this illegal trade. From Sudan to the Sahara Desert and the coast of Libya migrants suffer at the hands of traffickers and people smugglers while trying to get to a better life in Europe. Rape, murder, beatings, extortion, slavery and prostitution await many who attempt the journey. But to the migrant it is better than remaining in their own country. They cross the Mediterranean Sea in unsafe boats to get to Sicily and travel through Italy and France to the Jungle migrant camp near Calais. A journey that costs many their lives. Yet every year a millions people continue to try. Kasim Latif and Pamela Harper witness the horrors suffered by migrants, but their mission is to expose those who profit from their misery. Out of greed, treachery, torture, slavery and kidnapping, comes justice, freedom, romance and marriage. This is a story demonstrating the strength of human spirit and of good to defeat evil. But reminding us that these acts of atrocity continue unabated to this day and governments must act to put an end to this suffering.
