Blindfolded and led onto a plane, 12 contestants are dumped in a house in Berlin. Deprived of food or money, they must use their initiative to survive. Yet they don't even know which country they are in. With no prospect of food, the contestants are reduced to begging or stripping in seedy clubs. The producers claim it's a useful social experiment depicting the migrant experience. But outraged German politicians have called for the programme to be banned. "It is absolutely terrible and disgusting," complains politician Heidemarie Fischer. And inside the house the pressure quickly becomes too much. "You take our souls and torture us," cries one tearful contestant. But it seems that the public has a taste for torture and the show is a big hit.
