In the dark world of human smuggling all hopes are lost for a teenage refugee from Iran stuck in Hong Kong. Without a passport if he gets caught he'll be deported and will face persecution. ''Essi'' a passport forger from Thailand is the only person who can help. With unprecedented access, Passport Control is a riveting, on-the-ground look at the journey of an Iranian refugee, and the dangers of dealing with ruthless human-smugglers.
