Sahara

For centuries colonialists have bypassed the Sahara. The largest sand desert on the planet was too hot and too impenetrable. Now, Europe seems to have shifted its southern border to the Sahara in order to stop migration and combat terrorism. How do the inhabitants of the Sahara feel about this interference? In this 3-part series we cross the Sahara, from West to East. Along the way we encounter the dangers of advancing Jihadism, uncover the hidden world of slavery, expose human trafficking networks and reveal the desperation of migrants. All in one of the most inhospitable places on earth.
