The Darkest Web: Inside the Internet’s Most Hidden Corners to Save Kids – BBC World Service Docs (Video)

In this 16 February 2026 published video, an extraordinary global team of undercover officers take on the almost impossible – infiltrating the darkest corners of the Internet to rescue children, bringing hope where none seemed possible.
For US agent Greg Squire and an international network of undercover officers, the mission is clear and unwavering: to penetrate the most hidden corners of the internet and stop those who exploit and harm children.
Operating across borders, cultures and political divides, this rare collaboration sees law enforcement agencies from countries including Russia and the United States working side by side. As officers track offenders in digital spaces designed to evade detection, this film reveals not only the scale of the crimes involved, but the resilience, determination and moral clarity of those committed to bringing perpetrators to justice.
For over seven years, BBCEye journalist Sam Piranty was granted rare access to follow their work, observing the extraordinary lengths they will go to hunt down offenders and rescue children.
Every detail matters, and every decision has consequences. They will not look away. The race is on.
