The Story That Freed Hundreds of Slaves

from IRE Radio · host IRE Radio

If you’re having seafood for dinner, there’s a chance it was caught by a slave. That’s what the Associated Press uncovered when reporters traveled to the remote island of Benjina, Indonesia. They found workers trapped in cages, forced to work 22-hour days for almost no pay. And when they followed the fish, they learned some of it ended up in US restaurants and supermarkets. Reporters Martha Mendoza, Margie Mason and Robin McDowell walk us through their high-impact investigation.
