In June 2000, 58 Chinese nationals were discovered in a truck at Dover Ferry Port in the UK. Packed like cattle in a container with no air, food or water, they suffocated to death. An estimated 100,000 Chinese people entrust their lives to human smugglers or 'Snakeheads' every year. For huge fees, they are promised a new life in the West. Correspondent traces the business of human smuggling to its source - Fujian, China. Through unprecedented access to the police and the government, the film shows Beijing's fight against the smugglers and reveals the on-going torment of the families caught-up in the Dover disaster.
