For our final episode of the series, we're delighted to welcome world renowned activist and North Korean defector, Yeonmi Park.

After escaping from North Korea as a child, Yeonmi suffered at the hands of human traffickers in China, but still speaks openly about her experiences and uses her profile to shine a light on this worldwide issue. We discuss her story and how we can all use the privileges of our freedom to highlight how many people aren't afforded such luxuries.

Joining us this week is Marisol Nichols, an esteemed actor who you'll know from her starring roles in shows like 24 and Riverdale. But off-screen, she's been using her acting skills to help fight modern slavery.

Marisol talks to us about how she's gone undercover with former Government agents to stop trafficking at its source, often posing as various figures within the modern slavery underworld to help convict perpetrators. She also discusses the lightbulb moment that started her on this path and how rewarding - and frightening - her work has proven to be.
