Dealers/
Troco
is a 13-part action-packed serial radio drama exploring issues related
to human trafficking. Created in Portuguese for Mozambique and
English for Zambian audiences, each 20 minute episode is produced to
high quality broadcast standard. Through drama and
engaging storylines, the series raises awareness
about human
trafficking and related issues, as well as communicates specific
knowledge and skills, such as how to recognise suspicious offers, and
what resources are available to turn to for help. Upbeat and original theme music, produced in English and Portuguese, accompanies the drama, and both complements the story and stands alone as a strong message for people seeking to migrate to be sure of what they're getting into before they leave home.
The drama, which comes as a five disc box set, contains a fold-out media guide that provides radio presenters or community groups using the drama with ideas about how to take the issues further. The easy to follow guide gives presenters suggestions for questions to ask listeners or studio guests, as well as stories they can do that relate to the themes in each episode.
If you would like to download the guide or the dramas for
use in your
organisation, please
visit our audio and publication library. The guide will print comfortably on either standard A4 paper or a
poster-sized A3.
What's been said...
[The mafia part] gets you interested in the
story, then when these other things [like trafficking, HIV, sexual
abuse] come in, it’s still interesting, it’s not like you’re just
putting out facts. Like on the news or something – people can ignore
those things because they’re tired of hearing them. But put in this way
it can make you think about it twice.”
- Zambian focus group participant
“[The drama] will teach [people] a lot. There are a lot of people who want to leave. They leave with these big plans that don’t ever happen. This will teach them to be more careful.”
- Zambian focus group participant
“The script sounds like what happens on a daily basis.”
“I realise now that anyone can betray you, to be cautious who I trust and also to exercise caution when given a good looking job offer away from my country.”
