Black Market Organs (Full Episode) | Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller 

If this woman is telling the truth and going to all these places she got bigger balls than anybody period.

Humanity is capable of every dark thing you can imagine

This is where the quote “no one’s against you, everyone’s just for themselves” really comes into play.

My cousin is a physician assistant at a large hospital and she had a patient that went to Mexico for a mommy makeover and found out that the surgeon removed one of her kidneys.

Every one who is healthy in a free, safe, democratic and prosperous country should be grateful after watching this documentary.

I’m actually really shocked all these people are willing to be interviewed

Hate to say it but the organ traffickers agreed to talk because this meant advertising for potential clients who may not be aware of these "services"

I donated a kidney and never even thought about getting money for it. She’s still doing well, after 13 years. ❤

Believe it or not, organs aren’t the worst items being trafficked across borders. Children are more valuable and you don’t even want to know what happens to them.

Growing up in Mexico City, my parents were constantly reminding me of these type of dangers. Stories here and there of people being drugged and waking up without an organ were pretty well known. That’s why you were always told to not put “organ donor” in your DL since that would be another way how they would identify the victims. I’m almost 30 and I’ve been hearing about this since I was in middle school. It’s absolutely insane how we still know nothing about this.

She is the only 100% honest reporter in the industry right now and protects identity of the people she has on her reports. She is straight unbyus on who she interacts with.

Mariana & her crew have the biggest balls in the universe!! What a magnificent class of journalism! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I was born in Mexico City, and I, 100%, believe what is presented in this documentary. Mariana is so brave.

When I was growing up in Chihuahua, Mexico, in 2009, I remember many young people going missing (Although there are always people going missing). Around this time, the news posted their faces in the stores. Weeks after their disappearance, they would find bodies lying around the mountains and parks. They would come to find that they were opened up, and their organs were gone. In the Mexican news, they would report about the disappearances and how the bodies were found, although they did not disclose any more details. Once that happened for a couple months, they would post on the news that the police had shut down an organ harvesting base in a city in the state of Chihuahua. I was so small when I heard about this; I was 7 years old. People would always talk about the disappearances, and I cannot imagine the pain of the family members who had their families taken and killed.

I live in the US and have seriously considered selling a kidney. I’m not surprised at all that it is such a large illegal market. When you and your kids are hungry and facing a cold, homeless winter - it’s amazing the things you are willing to do. It’s definitely much more disturbing to think about other/ more vital organs being stolen from living people

Every documentary I see this reporter in she's always in some insanely dangerous situations, mad respect to her for putting herself at risk to bring us these important stories. 👍👍👍 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

The mention of Colombia triggers me so much! My brother was human trafficked and luckily I was able to rescue him based on my wit and unconditional love for him. Please be careful when traveling abroad! The embassy cannot help at all and you are at the mercy of the local authorities.

This was incredibly interesting. What a badass that lady is for putting herself in danger for the story. She's very likable. I could have kept watching.

So proud that this amazing investigative reporter is Portuguese! She's the best in the world at this. Mariana és fenomenal!

God bless this woman she has the courage to interview this evil people the entire interview I feared for her

I could sense that man’s pain that lost his family in Haitis earthquake. So cool to see a Haitian speak Spanish.

The fact that we get free videos on RU-vid by National Geographic is truly a gift. 👏👏👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

Only regular people have to wait years on the list, I’m sure a billionaire won’t have to wait no less than 48 hours

36:42 That doctor LAUGHED when he confirmed that usually the patients die right there. I kept rewatching it. He tried to stifle it but his mask slipped and his cheek gave it away. That's wild. You know he's a part of the underground and fully enjoys it.

Lets all gather here those representing Nairobi Kenya and give Mariana van Zeller her well deserved flowers and Nat Geo crew for these mind blowing exposes..

I can’t agree enough that this world needs to come to an end. It’s sickening to know how cruel this world can be.

"How can I know if you are telling the truth?" - TAKES OUT HIS KNIFE.

The problem is that there just isn't enough organs for people to go about it the right way. I live in 1 of 2 canadian provinces that implemented a law that if you are an adult, if you pass away you automatically consent to organ donation unless you opt out prior. It still gives people the freedom to choose while allowing others who may not have ever considered donating to be able to help someone else.

My answer for the last question is NO, I WOULD NEVER DO THAT. I WOULD RATHER DIE than deprive someone of their lives in such a brutal and painful way. Those who get transplanted illegally will have the correspondent consequences some day. Don’t ever think you’ll get sth for free, especially at the expense of others’ pain

Nothing but respect for this reporter.

THIS is real journalism!!!

I’ve heard of Americans that go abroad for cheaper surgery, and wake up with multiple incisions and a missing organ.

Someone in my area (northern Germany) went to Amsterdam with his soccer team and returned short by one kidney. I don’t know just how much truth is to the story but I don’t see a reason to make this up. I always thought this kind of stuff only happened far away from me, but nope. The world is a scary place.

she’s so bold for this. wow.

Perhaps human beings cling to this world, this life, way more than they should. Especially in certain countries, the desire to live forever is a growing thing, and people will do anything, anything, to try to get that. A better question, for me, is, why are people's organs failing so frequently?

World class journalist. Thank you.

Deshuesador quite literally translates to the bone remover…. 💀 this lady has balls of steel to be meeting these people.

This lady has to be out of her mind to go down to Columbia to go do the story. She’s lucky she came out alive.

She definitely got an angel around her protecting her all the way!!

I don't see anything wrong with buying an organ if a person is willing to sell it. I see something wrong if you have a surgery in a different country and the doctor steals your organ and you had no authority in its removal.

Props to this lady and her team for their courage to face such a country and those people especially those murders .. they must have been terrified going there …

Imagine in the worst part of the world where you don't even have a birth certificate.

love seeing a mariana investigation she's the best

can be inferred that the public security is so poor that these people can talk about their sinister actions loudly without worrying about punishment.

Much respect for this lady. She has some huge 🥚🥚to do this documentary, interview this people and watched that video. Wow, just wow! 👏

Definitely wouldnt go to Mexico for all the plastic surgeries. They have all your medical info and if you're a match then you've paid and so has the customer. I could see that happening a lot

It's crazy how some people are willing to pay to stop suffering through the suffering of others.

I m from Romania… we had in a private clinic in Cluj this situation for years… The doctor worked at the public Hospital and he has a private clinic…where the patients are redirected for “selling offer”… At the end,when the kidney was out,the “donnor” recive a very small amount…

Humans are one of the most inhumane species that exists today.

As someone who has done organ procurement procedures, this is beyond twisted. Unfathomable.

As someone who works for the Organ Procurement Organization here in my state, this is so disturbing and so wrong on every level 😮

Whoa that was so intense. Mariana has nerves of steel!!

100% happens all over the world 🌎

That’s crazy. You’re basically trying to defy your fate. Because if your kidney fails your days are counted. So you rather take someone else’s life to continue living yours😐. It’s a hard position to be in. In the end we’re all going to die but I think waiting and hoping for the best is the humble & morally correct thing to do. Choosing other wise is starting to fuel a very gruesome industry and creating a very egotistical humanity with lack of compassion.

Heck yeah miss seeing these types of videos especially with this Journalist

I think this doctor is being forced to do this because of threats made to him and his family. I can’t imagine a doctor that is wealthy already, go seek this out willingly.

I am from Italy and just discovered about the illegal traffick of organs thanks to our nanny, who’s from El Salvador. She claims her family had to pay for crossing Mexico and still didn’t know if they would safely reach the US. That is why she moved to Italy, where atrocities like these don’t exist. Or don’t exist yet. This reporter is extraordinarily brave.

I remember those early internet tales, some tourist in a bar, had a drink with some friendly locals....hours later woke up in a bathtub filled with ice, a card with the instructions to call emergency number (911 etc) for help...

Kidney transplant patient here. I’ve had chronic kidney disease since I was 9. First guy is correct but not 100% Living kidney donor can at least last til 10 yrs (more if lucky) Diseased donor can last at least 5 year (more if lucky) Also, when you get blood transfusions and a kidney transplant, that can be extremely hard to receive another kidney because of how many antibodies you have created in your body for the 1st transplant and any blood transfusions. People don’t know all the facts until you find it out because you’re going through it. :) There’s so much information about the kidney donations and different dialysis. If you can, donate! :)

Thank you Mariana for the excellent investigations and interviews. I can not imagine when people are in these situations of saving their life or providing money to their family - just the extent their will go. Brings up a lot of questions.

This is a very impressive and brave woman. She is interviewing the most dangerous criminals and cartels. Respect ✊

This lady stays calm while asking questions I would even think of asking .. I would never put myself in that situation intentionally.

What Marina reports on it pretty amazing, scary and dangerous. I have a great amount of respect for her and her reporting. But this story, as shocking as her story's are, this by far on the top of the list. I love her reporting. A very driven woman that seems to have questions about everything dangerous. Thank you, and be safe !

A tip for all, stay out of dark alleys.Mariana should have gotten a lead earlier before deciding to track these people down. 200,000.00 for a kidney? Shes lucky she and her team member got out of there alive. Holy cow, the price has jumped since I found out about it years ago. I think it was 60-70,000.00.

Bold, courageous, fearless to have had this video taken. The participants needs a greater token that is BIGGER THAN LIFE

Respect for the reporter and the policeman. Few like him are alive today

Everyone Will Have Judgement Day Either If They Like It Or Not, My God Have Mercy On These Souls

Thus should have millions of views.

The hug she gave to the Haitian guy, she’s really concerned

I watched the documentary called Eyes of the Devil and it talks about organ harvesting and it’s sickening what that documentary reveals.

It’s crazy how people think coming to the United States is an easy alternative. They cling on to the hope and only envision traveling over to the us as their only solution. Blinding them to how they’re wasting their own time by just waiting as well. Like by the Mexican border. Life in the US and anywhere else can be just as hard,

These Evil folks will NOT escape Divine Justice at the End of Days.

She has balls of steel! I wouldve been scared that the dr would cut me open right there! ! Ive heard Chicago and Vegas is known for black market donors! Unimaginable! We live in a fallen world for sure But God✝️

This woman is absolutely amazing! She is always in dangerous situations that I couldn't even imagine. These stories are insane!😊

I wish someone would look into the foster care system in the U.S. and how cps colludes with these big hospitals. Keeping in mind how may organs require a patient to be on a vent. The Kowalski vs Johns Hopkins case currently going on is exposing the system but only to an extent.

She's really brave to do this documentary. I love this!

Well done interview.

It's like the trafickers are sending a message, more like an ' advertisement '😢

HOW DOES SHE SURVIVE?? Why do they WANT to talk to her?

“Our society has an obligation to make a more efficient legal market so there’s simply no reason for a black market to exist.” 👊🇨🇦

They say that almost 100% of humans have dark thoughts. These guys act on it.

Mariana always doing the most interesting interviews.

As always, in the USA is where most of the drugs are sold, same for organs and other forms of trafficking. If there were no demands, these issues wouldn’t happen. 🤷🏽‍♀️

She is brave I would be scared they would take my kidneys!

This documentary is behind on the times, seen a documentary almost a decade ago that busted this wide open and also the hospitals who aren't asking any questions in the US when organs turn up for the patient, never asking "how" and fulfilling the surgery most times. Then there was suggestions that some surgeons themselves were also in on it as far as being paid as well to keep it quite because these are very expensive surgeries for the patient and most of the clientele was very rich men\women and most organs were coming way farther than South America but from Manilla where a good chunk of the population have sold their kidneys. This is old news so idk why she is acting like they can't get an organ from South America to the US in two days because they are coming from all over the world within hours to some of our most renown transplant hospitals. Thing is it's something that can't be sloppy and usually there are helicopters that fly this as their cargo on their regular trips doing other things but are paid well to have a few organs in their cargo space. It's been understood for quite some time but that old documentary showed just how corrupt the hospitals, surgeons and dying patients are when these surgeries are carried out in the US. Even non citizens (rich) are coming to US hospitals to have these transplant surgeries carried out. It's insanity and most of these organs coming from Asia. I will try to find that documentary if it hasn't been nixxed by TpTB over the past decade but it was eye opening and the reporter was one of the first whistle blowers to come with names, places and actually followed the patient even after they got the transplant and documented the entire process. He even got to talk to some of the surgeons on both sides of the world (real and black market). It was kind blowing seeing it for first time because it's something you know has always happened (since medically we've been able to transplant) but you could never imagine just how corrupt and what upstanding citizens are aware and are in on it in some fashion of the process.

As someone who works with transplant patients. I would absolutely NOT want a transplant. It is just a band-aide.

Respect for bringing these topics to light.

I love how they act like our country isn't involve

The guy at the end was given the option of additional parts, he bought them, and he darn well knows if he has a portion or a fully-functioning pancreas or not... He would be on certain meds and he would have other body maintenance requirements.

There would be no organ trafficking if we simply allow donors to receive some compensation. Everyone else benefits except for the donor. What would be so bad about giving a donor family $5k towards a funeral or burial??? Healthy people are dying daily and organs go to waste. They want to keep the supply low and demand high because it is more beneficial. Hospitals get a minimum of $1M per transplant. Surgeons, physicians, medical staff, surgical equipment company, drug companies, transport companies charge an exorbitant amount of money to harvest an organ.

Mariana&team....pls take care...wish you safe and all the best❤❤❤. Thank you

Should I be unlocking this fear at 3am? Def not. Am I gonna watch it anyways ? Def

Mariana never fails. 👏

Intense! Great doc, she’s fantastic

She is incredibly brave

They should make being an organ donor mandatory. People lost their lives everyday, sometimes by accident, sometimes not, but just burying people when their organs will just become worm food anyway is such a waste when it can save someone's life.

Mariana , u r a very brave woman. U r doing a great Social Service by helping spread the knowledge. May God Bless u.🙂

With current rate of inflation, i might have to sell couple of my organs just to buy a house.

the reporter is so brave. i can imagine she is very nervous all the time even when she saw the gun

Great interview thanks for doing this and making us aware
