AnewZ has released the official trailer for its upcoming original documentary, Halfway Across, an investigation into the systems behind illegal migration.
The film explores how recruitment often begins through social media job offers, and how individuals are drawn into structures they do not fully understand. What may appear to be a simple opportunity can quickly develop into involvement in a transnational operation.
Through testimonies, expert analysis and on-the-ground reporting, Halfway Across traces the journey from initial contact to the moment the reality becomes clear. The documentary examines how these networks operate across borders, how they adapt, and how responsibility is defined under the law.
The project also considers the broader global context. According to international data, millions of people are smuggled across borders each year, generating billions of dollars for criminal networks.
Seventy-five Azerbaijani citizens have been detained by Turkish and Greek authorities on suspicion of involvement in migrant smuggling.
The involvement of Azerbaijani citizens in migrant smuggling poses serious social risks and damages the country’s international reputation.
Authorities say preventing these crimes and protecting citizens from becoming involved remain a priority.
The State Security Service says it continues to work with international partners, taking preventive and legal measures to combat migrant smuggling.
Halfway Across forms part of AnewZ’s investigative work aimed at uncovering complex systems and presenting them through clear, fact-based storytelling.
The documentary will air on Saturday 28 March at 21:00 AZT (18:00 CET).
