Snakeheads

Snakeheads

A rare view inside the illegal Chinese immigration trade. In Fujian Province, PRC, people agree to pay more than $30,000 to smugglers -- "snakeheads" -- who will sneak them into the US where horrid living conditions await them, and long work hours at illegally low pay. Jon Alpert -- 9-time Emmy Award winner -- reveals Chinese government complicity with people smuggling. Charlayne Hunter-Gault interviews refugee expert Arthur Helton, and award-winning journalist Ying Chan about the issue.
