Mike - Catching child abusers; and The Padre - Caring for migrants

Stacey revisits 'Mike' who investigates abuse of children in the Philippines. And in the second part, she speaks to the Padre, who helps care for migrants at the Mexico-US border.

Stacey Dooley reconnects with some of her most memorable interviewees to answer the question she is asked most often: 'Where are they now?'

In this edition, Stacey revisits a documentary she made in the Philippines in 2017, investigating Filipino mothers who sexually abuse children, often their own, in front of webcams in exchange for money. Stacey catches up with 'Mike', (not his real name), a US undercover special agent from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) who conducts secret operations to arrest the mothers and rescue the children. Mike's voice has been disguised.

And in part 2, Stacey revisits the story of the Padre – the Mexican priest who helps care for migrants before they make the dangerous illegal journey across the desert into the US. Stacey last saw the Padre in 2012, when under his protection, she gained unique access to the people smuggling operation in Altar, a town on the Mexico-US border controlled by drug cartels.
