Radio Netherlands David Swatling presents this edition of Vox Humana, with an eye on human trafficking, from the perspective of a Latvian woman who was herself a victim, and an author.
Woven with passges from Ovid, courtroom hearings and personal interviews, it is deeply affecting.
It is a story which play out in letters and music writ with somber tones, but as a weekday evening programming, listeners will again know why they listen to public radio.
