Football slavery

The BBC World Service's Assignment program has a documentary on how unscrupulous European clubs and agents prey on young African kids who dream of becoming professional soccer players and lure them into what is rightly described as 'football slavery.'

(The audio is here but will probably only be available at this link through next Wednesday.)

The UK Guardian ran an expose last year on the same scandal.
