THE SERIES

Fentanyl is where Exploited starts. It is not where it stops.

Paul investigates the hidden machinery that turns human vulnerability into illicit profit — from cartel economics and Chinese precursor networks to human trafficking, organized crime, underground markets, and the global criminal enterprises that have learned how to monetize desperation, addiction, and human suffering.

Each episode is a conversation, recorded in person and on location where possible
