Sri Lankan brothers Lal and Lasantha dare to publish stories that others won’t touch, but at what cost? Meanwhile, in Mexico Lydia uncovers a child pornography ring involving senior politicians, Elena has a run-in with the Moscow mafia, Amira reports direct from the Israelioccupied territories and Zoriah comes up against the US Military over his Iraq war images.
