Modelling agencies recruit young people from African refugee camps to participate in fashion castings in Europe, but many return laden with debt. The podcast explores the Sunday Times investigation on this issue and shares the experiences of refugees involved. It also highlights the desperate living conditions in Kakuma refugee camp and the glimmer of hope that the emerging modeling industry provides. The story follows the journey of a refugee model from South Sudan and raises ethical questions about recruiting models from such vulnerable backgrounds.
