The Insider (2016)

Reggie heads to Ghana to live on one of the largest e-waste dumps in the world – Accra’s notorious Agbogbloshie. Working with a group of “burner boys”, the people grafting at what is considered to be the bottom of the ladder, Reggie discovers first hand what life's like for the people who eke out a living on the site. Dumping e-waste is illegal and the chemicals in the soil in Agbogbloshie mean it has been described as “the most toxic place on earth”. But could we really be complicit in creating it?

Reggie is in the Middle East to spend a week living and sleeping in the largest refugee camp in Iraq - alongside 30,000 Syrian refugees. Since the war in Syria first began, nearly 11 million people have fled their homes in search of safety. The news has been dominated by those trying to cross into Europe, but some 5 million people ended up in refugee camps. What’s it really like to be a 21st century refugee? And what’s it like to plan for your future when you cant go home and you cant move on?

A year after spending a week living as an inmate, Reggie is heading back to jail. Only this time, he’s working as a guard. Based inside Guildford County Jail in North Carolina, Reggie helps guard nearly a thousand prisoners – whose crimes range from minor misdemeanors to murder. What is it like working in a system operating under unprecedented scrutiny? And having seen incarceration from the other side sides – will he feel part of the solution? Or part of the problem?
