I've lost a TV series possibly from the 90s, maybe about ethnic cleansing

[KatyMac]

It's very vague

2 parts of a city - people moving from one ro the other with wrist bands that exploded with dye when they stayed too long

People travelling/being smuggled (to the UK?) Writing postcards to say they arrived safely then being electrocuted before they got there

Any ideas?

[june2007]

There was a programme black something which I think was about people smugglers who killed the people they smuggled. Not for ethic cleanising but to get money and conceal evidence??

[Crinklyoldhag]

Dunno but sounds interesting so following for answer

[KatyMac]

They were in a cave and holding on to a wire and they electrocuted them

[MrsSlocombesPussy]

I remember that. Was it people being smuggled into the EU from Eastern Europe?

[KatyMac]

Yes something like that

And maybe living in ghettos/separately when/if they got here

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

I remember something on C4 where a woman immigrant was trying to escape from a camp near Dover and police stopped her on a hill. Does that sound like it?
I only watched a bit of it.

Maybe I though the lead was a journalist with permission to work but it got revoked when she stayed across the border too long and her bracelet released the dye
