Those responsible are unscrupulous human traffickers whose networks span continents. The young Vietnamese are smuggled into Germany via Russia and Eastern Europe. Many end up in the world of crime, working as slaves for the Vietnamese mafia. This film tells their story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One high-ranking investigator describes the phenomenon as &#8220;modern slavery&#8221;. This is how many children and young people are brought from Vietnam to Germany: They are crammed into vans, loaded into refrigerated trucks, on the road for months, held along the way in abandoned warehouses or apartments. They are beaten, raped, exploited, they fear for their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are lured by the prospect of a better life, as promised to their families by the criminals. Berlin is one of the most important hubs for Vietnamese human trafficking. The journey to a cynically promised better life costs $15,000 to $20,000 dollars, which the victims have to pay off working in nail salons, as cigarette sellers, drug mules or on illegal cannabis farms. The traffickers decide when the debt is paid, leaving the victims at their mercy for years. It\u2019s a business worth millions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Inside Saudi Arabia: The Fall of The Crown Prince \u2014Real Stories<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Inside Saudi Arabia: The Fall Of The Crown Prince?

Is the support for Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman crumbling? We travel to the rarely covered conservative South, on the border with Yemen, where the population\u2019s resistance to change is the fiercest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saudi Arabia is well known across the world for its wealth, strict faith and oppression, but while Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has decreed that it wants to reform, the world is startled by the murder of journalist Khashoggi and other human rights violations. We follow the developments from the inside, through the eyes of the inhabitants themselves. Are they just empty promises or is Saudi Arabia actually able to change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/week-34-what-to-stream-this-weekend\/\">Week 34: What to stream this weekend<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>I Sleep in a Graveyard: Illegal Immigrant &amp; Proud \u2014Only Human<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Sleep In A Graveyard | Illegal Immigrants And Proud | Only Human\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jPkEm6AM_rU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every day, hundreds of immigrants risk a potentially fatal journey in order to enter the UK illegally.
