Overview

Undercover Asia returns with a brand new season for the fifth year running. This multiple-award winning series continues to shine a light on some of the darkest corners of our society. This season, we travel across the US, South Korea, Philippines, and Bangladesh to investigate what could be the world's biggest heist - orchestrated from North Korea. We uncover sinister forces at work keeping Malaysian fishermen hooked on drugs, and Filipino miners risking it all for gold in illegal mining sites. We dig deep into Myanmarese society to understand why child bondage could be seen as acceptable, and how social media is changing all that. And from the depths of Indonesia's prisons, find out why convicted terrorist leaders continue to wield influence and power from behind bars. Uncover hard truths in the underbelly of Asia, and never look at the issue in the same way again.
