    Border Odyssey takes us on a drive toward understanding the US/Mexico divide: all 1,969 miles, from Boca Chica to Tijuana. "We needed to go to the place where countless innocent people had been kicked, cussed, spit on, arrested, detained, trafficked, and killed. It would become clear that the border, la frontera, was more multifaceted and profound than anything we could have invented about it from afar." Along the journey, five centuries of cultural history (indigenous, French, Spanish, Mexican, African American, colonist, and US), wars, and legislation unfold. And through observation, conversation, and meditation, Border Odyssey scopes the stories of the people and towns on both sides. Among the terrain traversed: walls and more walls, unexpected roadblocks and patrol officers; a golf course (you could drive a ball across the border); a Civil War battlefield (you could camp there); the southernmost plantation in the United States; a hand-drawn ferry, a road-runner tracked desert, and a breathtaking national park; barbed wire, bridges, and a trucking-trade thoroughfare; a Tex-Mex eatery empty of customers; the kindness of the border-crossing underground; and too many elderly, impoverished, ex-US farmworkers. ungekürzt.

    For the first time, legendary DEA operatives Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña tell the jaw-dropping true story of how Pablo Escobar, the world's most infamous narcoterrorist, was finally put out of business. The 1980s and '90s were defined by Pablo Escobar's transformation of Colombia into a war zone as his Medellin Cartel trafficked tonnes of cocaine into North America and Europe andmurdered anyone - competitors, police and civilians - who threatened his empire. With a private fortune stretching into billions, Escobar bought off politicians and became a hero to many by building infrastructure in poorer communities. Escobar was King. The only way to end his reign of terror as one of America's most wanted, was to send DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier F Peña into the field to bring him down. Despite the $300,000 bounty placed on their heads, Steve and Javier were undeterred and worked relentlessly to isolate the drug lord from his resources and allies and send him on the run from enemies on both sides of the law. 'A must-read for any fan of Narcos!' Chris Brancato, Executive Producer, Narcos

    Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st-century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action. With the recent 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th century abolitionist movement, the world has paid tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. But slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating $31 billion annually. And as many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael McIlhonnie.

    Amnesty International is facing a backlash for proposing a new policy for sex workers. They want to stop the criminalization of buying or selling sex between consenting adults. Susie says, Hooray! But some big-time Hollywood stars are using their fame to oppose this effort, because they think sex workers are always oppressed and trafficked. But the World Health Organization has also called for decriminalization, so we'll have to see how this plays out. Will celebrity power influence - or just muddy up - the process? Next, Susie has a question for you: What birth control method has rather unfairly faded into obscurity? Answer: the diaphragm, but it's making a comeback. Susie has a tutorial you will love. Finally, it's our "Try this at Home" mailbag. Susie has a letter from a listener who writes, "I haven't had sex in 40 years, but I've just found a young, hot new boyfriend, and I need help getting my vagina back in working order.

    A transnational feminist novel about human trafficking and motherhood from an award-winning author. Saddled with student loans, medical debt, and the sudden news of her infertility after a major car accident, Shannon, an African American woman, follows her boyfriend to Morocco in search of relief. There, in the cobblestoned medina of Marrakech, she finds a toddler in a pink jacket whose face mirrors her own. With the help of her boyfriend and a bribed official, Shannon makes the fateful decision to adopt and raise the girl in Louisville, Kentucky. But the girl already has a mother: Souria, an undocumented Mauritanian woman who was trafficked as a teen, and who managed to escape to Morocco to build another life. In rendering Souria's separation from her family across vast stretches of desert and Shannon's alienation from her mother under the same roof, Jacinda Townsend brilliantly stages cycles of intergenerational trauma and healing. Linked by the girl who has been a daughter to them both, these unforgettable protagonists move toward their inevitable reckoning. Mother Country is a bone-deep and unsparing portrayal of the ethical and emotional claims we make upon one another in the name of survival, in the name of love.
