Oxford professor Patricia Kingori investigates the hidden, multi-billion dollar 'fake essay' industry. An estimated 40,000 highly-educated Kenyans make ends meet by writing academic papers to order for global students. These 'shadow scholars' - graduates unable to find employment - enable students in countries like the UK to graduate and move into lucrative jobs.
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately due to circumstances outside our control the filmmakers are now unable to join us for our Q&A with The Shadow Scholars.
