The “invisible” Chinese squid, from human rights violations to our tables: this is how it ends up in Italian restaurants and fishmongers.

Francesco De Augustinis interviewed Ian Urbina for Corriere della Sera, in a joint project with Mongabay, about how Chinese-caught squid enters the Italian market, despite widespread allegations of forced labor, illegal fishing, overfishing, and human rights abuses associated with China's distant-water fishing fleet and seafood processing industry. The documentary presents The Outlaw Ocean Project as an important investigative source that exposed labor abuses inside China's seafood processing industry involving workers from North Korea and Uyghurs transferred from Xinjiang.
