El Salvador: The Price of Safety

A weekly programme from the BBC World Service, bringing forensic journalism from all corners of the world by BBC Eye, the World Service's critically acclaimed investigative unit, and featuring expert global correspondents getting to the heart of the biggest international stories. In this episode: João Fellet is in Brazil ahead of the election there and he investigates El Salvador's controversial crackdown on gang violence. Once considered one of the world's most dangerous countries, El Salvador has seen violent crime fall dramatically. But as politicians elsewhere in Latin America, including Brazil, look to its example, we ask what lies behind the headlines? And what has this transformation really cost?
