| Summary |
Investigative reporter Donal MacIntyre brings his unique and gripping insight into the dangerous underworld of some of the world's most well-known and notorious destinations. From race riots in Paris, drug trafficking in Istanbul to kidnappings in Mexico City, this exciting new series utilises a gritty journalistic edge and goes beyond tourist city guides and holiday brochures. Join Donal on his revealing journey as he uncovers the dark secrets that lie beneath, and reveals the identities of the masterminds and innocent victims involved in these terrible events. |
| Prague: Prague is an elegant and cultured city, but it's also a place where sex is for sale and women here are forced to work as prostitutes by traffickers. It's a town where even cab drivers carry guns and gangsters fiercely protect their trade -- Paris: Donal is in a city on the edge, somewhere a conflict can occur without warning. A place where violent crime is nearly three times the national average and where anyone can get caught in the mayhem -- Odessa: Odessa, a friendly town with a thriving nightlife that celebrates diversity. But beneath the surface, there's a culture of fear and intimidation, and a lucrative trade in deadly weapons -- Dublin: Donal is in town gripped by a local gang war, where a billion year old drug trade is fueling the rivalry and the authorities are unable to cope. Donal goes back to his hometown to find out why the city he grew up in is tearing itself apart -- Istanbul: Donal MacIntyre reveals the Turkish city of Istanbul's role as part of the 'Balkan Route' of the European heroin trade, talking to producers, dealers and police officers. |
