Unreported World El Salvador: The Child Assassins
Reporter Ramita Navai and director Alex Nott visit El Salvador as it experiences its worst gang violence in a decade. Many of the gangs' hitmen are children who kill and die with appalling frequency but accept it as part of normal life. Navai and Nott expose another disturbing trend: the torture and murder of young teenage girls - victims of a gang culture that regards them as sexual objects.
Acclaimed foreign affairs programme, where reporters travel to some of the most dangerous and neglected parts of the globe to offer an insight into those whose lives are not often glimpsed by world media.
