The Baby Stealers: A Mother's Story (2020x15)

Air date: Dec 13, 2020

In November 2020, #BBCAfricaEye released an investigation into child trafficking that sent shockwaves throughout Kenya. Many of the children featured in the film were stolen. But others were willingly sold by their own mothers, often for tiny sums. This is the story of one mother and her baby, trapped between poverty and the child traffickers.
