Children of the Darien Gap

The Darien Gap is one of the world's most dangerous migration routes. 100 km of dense jungle, where not just torrential rivers, mountains and snakes lie in wait for those crossing, but bandits too. Despite that, the number of children taking this route has increased seven fold in recent years. We follow a family trying to get through.

Silenced: the Killing of journalists in Mexico

At least 13 journalists were killed in Mexico in 2022, more than any other country in the world outside of a war zone. Gangsters, but also government officials murder reporters with impunity. We follow correspondents at risk, and the families of those who've died. This documentary was awarded a gold medal from the New York Films & TV festival.

Living in Mexico's Kill Zone

Western Michoacan has become the epicenter of Mexico's violence. A hinterland in which gangs are the only authorities. Aguililla, in particular is cut off from the world. Under seige from two cartels. We tried to get there, speaking to narcos, displaced villages and soldiers from drug dealing self defence forces along the way.
