In 2004, guided by human rights activist Ansar Burney, an HBO team used a hidden camera to document slavery, sexual abuse, and torture in secret desert camps where boys as young as three were trained to race camels, a national sport in the United Arab Emirates. This half-hour investigative report showed a system of child slavery involving thousands of young boys from Bangladesh and Pakistan who were kidnapped or sold. The report also questioned the sincerity of U.S. diplomacy in pressuring an ally, the UAE, to comply with its own stated policy of banning the use of children under 15 from camel racing.
The documentary won a Sports Emmy Award in 2004 for "Outstanding Sports Journalism" and the 2006 Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award for outstanding broadcast journalism. It also brought world attention to the plight of child camel jockeys in the Middle East and helped Ansar Burney Trust to convince the governments of Qatar and the UAE to end the use of children in this sport.
