How did a former British soldier become an international people smuggler? Annabel Deas investigates, taking us deep into the UK's hidden criminal landscape.

NEW in Shadow World: The Smuggler tells the story of a former British soldier who became an international people smuggler.

In this intimate portrait of a British people smuggler, we hear from the perpetrator directly, to uncover his motivations, methods and the consequences of risking the lives of desperate people. The investigation exposes how the smuggling techniques used are still possible today and details the ease with which smugglers can bring migrants into the UK without being caught.
