The video highlights the plight of Syrian refugees in Istanbul who are forced to work illegally in factories producing clothes for major British brands like Marks and Spencer and ASOS. These refugees, including children, are paid below the minimum wage and lack work permits. Marks and Spencer and ASOS respond to the findings, with ASOS offering support for child workers to return to school. The investigation by Panorama uncovers the complex situation of refugees in Turkey and the responsibility of big brands to ensure ethical labor practices.
