SEASON 01: BLACK MARKET: DISPATCHES

In VICELAND's new global series Black Market: Dispatches presented by Michael K. Williams, we embed ourselves inside criminal enterprises to see how contraband moves across borders, and explore the politics behind a hidden economy nearly as big as the one you know. BLACK MARKET: DISPATCHES premieres Aug. 16th at 10PM on VICELAND.

EPISODE 01: THE TUNNELS OF GAZA (SERIES PREMIERE EPISODE)

In the first episode, we explore the underground network of tunnels that connect the Gaza Strip to Israel and Egypt to see how goods and soldiers move in and out of the Palestinian territory. Gazans get around the economic blockade by using the rudimentary tunnels to smuggle in items they need to survive, even as neighboring territories try to bomb and destroy them.
