Help please! Similar type of show


I'm trying to remember the name of a program that was similar in production to BUA/LUA.

It was presented in a similar story-led reconstruction format, but concerned individuals/couples abroad, coming up against corruption.

There was an episode where a (n interracial?) couple opened a bar but a local competitor didn't want them there, and also wanted their expensive sound system, and they had religious artefacts left around their premises to scare them off.

Another episode concerned a businessman in Russia(?), refusing to act corrupt in his dealings, and was threatened with the gulag IIRC...

Anyone familiar with this?

I am thinking that it may also have been a Channel 5 (UK) show.

Further to the above...

It might have had "Paradise" in the title...

Google-ing with no success :(

In case anyone else suffers the same torture as I have had...

It was called Paradise Lost.

The episode that I was remembering was called Nightmare in Kenya.

It's available on YT.
