ASHLEY CAIN GOES INTO THE DANGER ZONE FOR NEW BBC DOCUMENTARY

24.09.2024

Ashley Cain has landed a new six part BBC documentary which will be filmed in some of the world’s most dangerous cities.

Ashley Cain: Into the Danger Zone will see the charity campaigner visit gangs in Marseille, a Philippine prison and poachers in South Africa to see what is like for the young men in these environments.

Ashley said, "I have a genuine passion for the people of this world and true compassion for every person’s situation. I am also incredibly inquisitive about the human mind and how people operate on the other side of their comfort zone. So, I’m heavily invested in this series that explores the minds and lives of fellow young men based on the hardship they face in each adverse environment.

“It’s not my intention to judge. It’s my intention to understand. I will be as deeply immersed as I can be to truly understand how they think, feel and what they choose to or have to do in their lives to provide, protect or simply just survive. And ultimately ask myself… would I do the same if I lived in their world?"

Ricky Cooper, BBC Commissioning Editor, said: “Ashley connects with young men in a truly exceptional way – with no agenda, no judgement and a ferocious desire to genuinely understand whoever he meets, no matter how shocking their lives or actions may be, or where in the world they live. It’s these qualities that make this series so exciting, and I’m delighted Ashley will be taking the BBC Three audience along for this no-holds-barred journey into some of the world’s most dangerous places to be a young man.”

Ashley Cain: Into The Danger Zone is due to air next year.
