Being a Woman in Investigative Journalism | Trafficked | National Geographic UK

Mariana van Zeller, director of brand new series Trafficked shares her experience of being a woman in investigative journalism and in being exposed to dangerous situations. She recalls how easily her interviewees usually open up to her, except during her visit to Mexico. While meeting the boss of a gun trafficking operation, he insists on meeting her alone before providing her with exclusive access to the gun trafficking underworld. Although he still doesn’t believe she's a journalist, he’s got men surrounding the area ready to take her down.
Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller, Mondays at 9pm on National Geographic UK 📺
Available to watch in the UK on Sky (129), Virgin Media (266), BT (317), TalkTalk (317), NOW TV & TV Player
