Journalism at it's best. They shed light on suppressed and forgotten communities, walking a very thin line between showing as much as possible and not getting killed by the local governments. Showing the intimidation those governments use directly to them and the interviewees.

Every episode becomes very personal, following people who have gone and are going through unthinkable circumstances. As someone living in a well off, western country, most people would have no idea how unjust the world can be.

So if you're looking for interesting journalism on social and political issues, definately worth the watch.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.
