There’s no documentary like a National Geographic’s documentary and these clips show how “Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller,” the season 1 finale airing on January 13, 20211 at 9/8C, show an example of the kind of footage that the series is able to get to be able to capture the intensity of the situation.
Armed with National Geographic’s trademark inside access, “TRAFFICKED” with Mariana van Zeller takes viewers on a journey inside the most dangerous black markets on the planet. Each investigation in the eight-part series embeds with Peabody and duPont Award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller as she explores the complex and often violent inner workings of a smuggling network. While she dives deeper and deeper into these underworlds, Mariana reveals — with characteristic boldness and empathy — that the people operating these trafficking rings are often a lot more like us than we realize. “TRAFFICKED” with Mariana van Zeller premiered December 2.
Make sure to catch the finale on January 13, 2021 at 9/8 C.
The entire series has shown some incredible insight into the dealing in the black market and investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller faced some unbelievable situations to be blue to show everything this series has shown.
