| Summary |
*Coarse Language, Drug References, Violence*Marseille is crowned the 2013 European City of Culture but it is an area of staggering contrasts where a billionaire's playground is a stone's throw from some of Europe's most deprived and dangerous housing estates. When Ross visits Marseille, he finds a place that is spending up big on upgrading its port district in anticipation of the boost to the city by the annual arrival of ten million tourists who are attracted to France's 'second city'.Marseille is the gateway between Europe and Africa and a major transit point for drugs, weapons and people. Since the days of the 'French Connection', when 90% of the heroin consumed in the US transited through the city, Marseille has been notorious for the scale and sophistication of its organised crime networks.Ross visits Marseille to investigate an unprecedented crime wave fuelled by an influx of illegal and highly sophisticated weapons that have made the city's estates a no go area for the police.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A Tiger Aspects production |
