People Smuggler: World's Most Wanted Documentary

"The hunt for the world's most wanted people smuggler took us through some of the most inhospitable places on Earth as well as some of the most dangerous"
 
"We traced the key human trafficking routes used by one of the kingpins and followed the same path through which his network has smuggled thousands of migrants" 
 
- Alex Crawford, Sky News Special Correspondent
A key part of the look was based on the journies that follow the ancient trans-Saharan slave trade routes. These are controlled by the ever-present people smugger himself; being a part of the landscape whilst hidden within it and remaining elusive.
 
Beyond the titles were a series of map explainers in a similar style. The conversation overlays and name supers were intentionally kept simple and secondary from the programme content.
