Sophia has provided the narration for another episode of BBC Panorama, entitled North Korea’s Secret Slave Gangs

As President Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, prepare for an unprecedented summit, Panorama investigates North Korean modern-day slavery. It is thought that more than one hundred thousand North Korean workers are posted abroad to earn money for the cash-strapped regime – money that is being ploughed into Kim Jong-un’s nuclear weapons programme. An international consortium of journalists has filmed undercover to reveal secret work gangs operating in Russia, China and Poland.

The episode is available to watch via BBC iPlayer
