    For many migrants the European dream has a dark side we don’t see on TikTok.

    In this video, The World’s Gerry Hadden talks about going behind the scenes in Ceuta. He spoke with the Red Cross about the bodies washing up on beaches and tracked down El Japony, an Algerian migrant whose viral TikToks hide a harrowing backstory involving loan sharks and a sword-wielding gang.
