Asia's Underworld, Series 1

8 x 24 HD
Broadcaster:  Crime & Investigation Network

This critically acclaimed series exposes the shocking underworld of crime in Asia, uncovering the secret operations of some of the most ruthless and hardened criminals in the world.

With a real life cast of victims, police and dangerous criminals, Asia’s Underworld confronts the depraved and money-driven minds of those who break the law. Leaving no stone unturned, we go behind the scenes of both sides of the criminal world – the law makers as well as the law breakers – through daring interviews and heartstopping stylisations…

What happens when Loan Sharks call in their money? How do modern-day pirates operate, and can the police do anything to stop them? What lies beneath Asia’s thriving sex trade? From Filipino assassins to Mongolian pimps to South-East Asian pirates and Taiwanese gambling syndicates, this unique eight part series takes a hard-hitting look at the face of Asian criminality today. Sobering, disturbing and utterly captivating.
