Julie Noon documents Tobacco's Child Workers

Channel 4's Unreported World is renowned for uncovering global issues that would otherwise go unnoticed, and this week the series focuses on the illegal employment of Malawian children in the tobacco industry.


Julie Noon, the director of Tobacco's Child Workers travelled to the impoverished African country with reporter Jenny Kleeman, to discover how children as young as three are producing tobacco, which is then bought by British tobacco companies and smoked by British smokers. Julie sent us some pictures from her time filming there, which we are including here.


Tobacco's Child Workers is broadcast at 7:35pm on Friday 14th May. Click here to find out more. If you've directed a programme you'd like to tell us about, please get in touch.
