I guess sometimes but most of the things which are that. Makes me consider german culture looking at the stereotype question here thinks hes a country that. Needed same when taken as drama they are to me its all about. My job join me to meet the gentleman from d. W. Post. The. Hard ground for practically peanuts. These workers get just a few euros or dollars to pick around issues in cars yes j. G. Is one of tens of thousands. It makes business sense for the companys. Cultural industry used at least second largest export sector. Fruit and vegetables
produced in latino are sold all over europe. But the Organized Crime and Human Trafficking at play here stretches all the way to india. Jackets singh arrived in italy twelve years ago friends of his in his village in Punjab In Northern India had told him about the tina they told him he could work in the fields and good money he knew that life would be difficult but not this difficult. At first he often thought about going back. This will be. When i was alone at the beginning i had to make my own breakfast and
lunch also clean when i came home from work. Now that my family is here its all much easier to. Go there was that it was difficult for me to be alone for so many years my son was so small he wasnt even one year old when judge left. I think life was difficult when we had to travel. Where you got to even easy household things. Everything when the school. Shooting ok. See you later there we did see why. About Eighteen Thousand indians work in the province of latina. Most of them six
from punjab. Jegede needed years before he could buy his own car find a small house to rent and save enough money to bring his family over. Hes one of the few who is willing to talk with us openly about the work. Others were often too scared. To were going to give up and we were afraid in india. I had my own business i could arrive late for work and go home early and if i needed to do something they can beat me and its different here get on with getting in the bathroom and then get here then youre only paid if you work. But still im better off than the others are going to be a massive model to be had or some only get three euros fifty an hour. Theyre going
to get five euros fifteen. Pounds out of since. I work here. In the three times a gram here i think i think im being mean but they were letters in with a camera. And the owners are feet with us that you may have given. The companies usually dont even pay a third of the official minimum wage. Many of the men work seven days a week up to twelve hours a day during harvest time. But these indians are trapped in a criminal system most paid thousands of euros to Human Traffickers to get to italy on fake papers. It can be years before theyre able to pay off their debts if at all i this debt bondage is widespread and into me and not
only indians are exploited. East europeans and africans to. Middlemen behind the scenes recruit the workers. They keep because of their wages and they also dictate the working hours all of which is illegal. Careful heres the boss Whats Going On look were making a programme about the Indian Community you cant film here. The menu this is A Public Space. Im sorry you were in the field. That night thats also A Public Space too late with the what do you mean too late. Right down the license
number. Yes please do that do it in. L a grand of the day you will meet with. The woman we know. You most companies here are parts of the system. In the tina a police unit has been set up to fight against illegal employment come in a mosque is the head. Its certainly a system of organizing your legal immigration. You can see what i mean mainly indians who work with italians to bring people over to give them fake papers fake residence permit. Fake visas. Passports. Everything you know what with these. People and this is a its a nice. Market. And this. Sort of put and they way its going to look how well this Driving License has been faked. But its simply perfect. But a little. Bit. Difficult to break the system but theres always somebody willing to testify. Sometimes workers talk because theyre scared of being deported to india but. Others are angry with the middle medical. Rather well there are many reasons if a. Little special in there but its hard to find good interpreters but. Theyre
also part of the community and theyre scared of cooperating with the police now saying people helping us to arrest other indians. One of the biggest producers of redish is allowed us to film. A lot of ok. Now well go to the canteen over there. We were able to speak to one of the managers and ask him about we criticize and exploitation. Not to not know what would have once again found the company philosophy. If we were to find such a case we would fire the person immediately. I mean. Were not a company that doesnt treat its workers well we. Saw even
the. Activists say that the people here are also not paid the minimum wage that they also recreate his operation here. The workers themselves refused to say anything they scared of losing their jobs. In the evening other workers visit this ng family. The men have been living here for years but they still saving up to bring their wives. Remember. What. I had supporting my wife and sisters gold jewelry to pay for the trip to italy. I thought out answer money fast and get a bank. Course for the one thing you know theyre going to get in the end we had to
sell her jewelry to pay off our debts. We needed it almost everyone who comes here has the same problem. The reality is different from the expectations we got there and i really resonate with the. Judge gz friend also had big hopes. Hes been in italy for eighty years. Little during that time he hasnt gone home one. Here. Im neither happy nor unhappy about the working conditions. But. The problem is that its tough on the back and it always aches if you or you. But nobody wants to go back to india the money that they earn here is needed. But
that is like but. In this. Town sure this is not all doom and gloom. And. Beginning when i first arrived time live near the beach in libya. Was our first time id swum in the sea what it. Good enough. The. Other. The Indian Community has grown over the years they have opened stores and restaurants and there are two temples in the area. You do that theres not much contact with the italian community. And im going to leave
sometimes i think about the people who eat our vegetables i know that many of them are anxious moment to germany or to restaurants that i often wonder if the people there think about are sometimes good about the conditions that we work in. And so forth. Fake hair and real stories. Where i come from a lot of women like me have fake hair sometimes a hairstyle takes up to two days its a lot of time that needs to be filled so people at the someone talk about whats happening in their lives. I became a journalist to be a storyteller and they always want to find those real authentic stories from everyday people who have something to share. With all the time i spent at the salon
