Ghana’s renowned investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ groundbreaking work in Invisible Hands has reached new heights—literally—as the documentary lands on Delta Airlines’ in-flight entertainment system.
The 2018 exposé, which sheds light on child labour and human trafficking in global supply chains, is now available to passengers worldwide, reinforcing the power of investigative storytelling.
Anas, renowned for his fearless undercover journalism, played a pivotal role in the documentary by infiltrating industries where children were being exploited. Using his signature hidden-camera techniques, he helped expose the harsh realities of forced labour in agriculture, manufacturing, and other sectors. His work in the film aligns with his long-standing mission of exposing corruption and human rights violations across the globe.
Anas was joined by other influential figures in the fight against child exploitation. Nicholas Kristof, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, contributed his expertise in exposing human rights abuses and labor exploitation worldwide. Kailash Satyarthi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a lifelong activist against child labor, also played a significant role in the documentary. Satyarthi, who has rescued thousands of children from forced labor, provided invaluable insights into the systemic issues fueling child exploitation.
Directed by Shraysi Tandon, Invisible Hands began as a small, independent project but quickly grew into a powerful piece of investigative cinema. The film premiered at the United Nations, screened in theaters nationwide, and was recognized as a New York Times Critics’ Pick. Its harrowing revelations and compelling storytelling have earned widespread acclaim, with viewers around the world continuing to reach out, moved by its impact.
The addition of Invisible Hands to Delta Airlines’ in-flight entertainment marks another milestone in its journey, bringing its urgent message to an even broader audience. As travelers embark on their journeys, they now have the opportunity to witness the hidden realities of modern-day slavery and the relentless efforts of journalists and human rights advocates to uncover the truth.
With its presence in the skies, Invisible Hands continues to prove that investigative journalism has no boundaries—it reaches wherever there are eyes willing to see and hearts ready to act.
