Gangs, raids and a mum undercover: The search for my daughter

Available for over a year

Susana Trimarco’s daughter, Marita Verón was kidnapped into sexual slavery 21 years ago. Susana risked everything to search for her daughter, making the perilous decision to disguise herself as a brothel madam and infiltrate Argentina's underworld of sexual slavery. Marita is still missing, but Susana’s search goes on. And through her relentless mission, she has rescued thousands of other women like Marita, and her efforts have even helped make human-trafficking a crime in her country. For about 40 years, expert diver Jim Abernethy has been swimming with sharks in a patch of shallow crystal-clear ocean in the Bahamas. At any given moment Jim can be surrounded by 30 or more tiger, reef and lemon sharks. But Jim has a unique relationship with these underwater predators. Outlook's Clayton Conn met Jim at Tiger Beach to learn about his mission to change the world's perception of his endangered friends. This interview was first broadcast in November, 2021.
