Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller

If it is all legitimate footage then it is very impressive journalism

Mariana Van Zeller along with her team puts together an incredible journey through topics covered in each wildly dangerous episode. She is a real journalist exuding more testicular fortitude than any other journalist I've seen. Her interviews with some very dangerous people along with the topics she asks some difficult questions in some very difficult and dangerous situations. Each episode you leave with a better understanding of both sides as she remains neutral while digging for answers where many journalists would leave well enough alone. The most recent episode I just watched about the Amazon Mafia was a real eye opener leaving me with a better understanding for the illegal miners, the corrupt political elites and the worlds largest Fortune 500 companies that benefit from destroying the Amazon.

How many times does Maria tell viewers this without addressing the question: WHY does one dangerous criminal after another agree to meet with her if doing so is so dangerous? Such an obvious question left unaddressed raises questions as to the authenticity of the show?

First of all, the way she talks to people and gets information is awesome but she has a very entertaining personality, I really like her. The topics she goes over are always entertaining yet take you by surprise. She is extremely good at what she does for a living. Real documentary style she uses makes you think about the different sides of peoples lives (the good and the criminal) and why they do what they do. Truly, keeps you interested with the topics, I would recommend this show to people who like drugs inc and locked up abroad as well. I hope that in the future, I can see more of her fantastic work!! Well done 10/10!!

The episode detailing the scamming "business" in Jamaica and Israel was informative and very well done up until Ms. Van Zeller decided to inject some misguided social justice propaganda into the episode. After completing her investigation into the Israeli investment scammers, she abruptly switched back to the Jamaican scammers and led them to justify their illegal behavior by citing reparations for their years of slavery. What she failed to mention is that the slavery in Jamaica was controlled by the British colonists not Americans.
