The Isaan Record spent over 3 years following the fate of people from north-eastern of Thailand who, carrying their hopes of a better life, sought refuge as berry pickers in the forests of Finland and Sweden. They believed that "wild berries" in these civilized countries would revive their lives and help them pay off their debts, so they borrowed money to work there, following the persuasion of the Ministry of Labour and brokers. But unfortunately. They were tricked into working for free and became victims of human trafficking. After working for 3 months, some returned home with empty-handed, burdened with debt. Over the years, reports indicate that there are over 4,000 victims, leading them to form groups to demand justice. While waiting for government agencies to resolve the debt crisis resulting from being tricked into working abroad, a former minister involved in human trafficking and corruption has prospered.
