Many of these transports of illegal immigrants are partly organised from The Netherlands.
In Amsterdam a Dutch confidant helps Chinese people with their business and their life in the Netherlands. He explains how it all works and how difficult it is for Chinese immigrants that get stuck in Europe . A Chinese family explains how they ended up in The Netherlands.
For this reportage Featurez did the research, set-up and planning, accompanied the filming and organised a Chinese interpreter.
