In my 60 min doc all about taboo topics like sex, drugs, weed, gay rights, and atheism, I travel to the Netherlands, one of the world’s most tolerant countries, who also consistently ranks among the happiest countries in the world. Let’s get it.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN THIS VIDEO
0:00 Why The Netherlands is so intriguing as a country

3:22 3 proseccos deep, I ask two French men in a bar in Jordaan about the realities of the Red Light District

5:26 My GPS somehow reroutes me to a gay sauna, so I had to go in?8:47 Wait so every high school has a plug? And so basically, the British go to Amsterdam and fuck shit up? And what’s this about sex work/prostitution?

12:05 The creative hub that used to be a shipyard (NDSM) where I question how far a society can get when you’re not interested in following the moral code of a specific religion. Basically, is atheism the way to social progress?

14:00 Every country has a funky past, so what’s up with Dutch colonialism? Dutch-American Ila takes on the task of trying to explain dutch colonialism for the internet. Good luck girl. Then she introduces me to th wonders of Dutch drunk food: FEBO.

18:03 Every morning, I wake up in a whimsical garden in the North of Amsterdam to a wonderful woman named Zita who makes me coffee and talks to me about how the Netherlands has changed over the past 60 years. let’s put it this way: y’all are some prudes. Toedeloe!

24:29 I’m breaking down the official laws on weed, cannabis, grass, etc on the Netherlands government website. So you’re saying I can’t possess weed, but I can use it? Alright Netherlands, whatever you say. But let’s go to a petting zoo in Utrecht to test it out, shall we? Oh, and have y’all ever heard of mustard soup?

29:41 Three hours into my space stroopwafel and I’m…

31:40 Have you ever played the Sims? OK, so you know what Dutch sounds like.

33:33 Interviews about education in the Netherlands, gay rights, the rise of the right, the controversy over the Black Pete tradition.

40:34 I go to a gay rave + talk about the use of ecstasy, molly, and MDMA in the Netherlands, and around the world.

44:29 I meet with Bastiaan and Dzifa from the DrugsLab to talk about the other side of drugs – the side of drugs that never gets discussed.

50:32 Zita invites me out to lunch with her friend Kees to discuss how the Netherlands has changed its view on gay rights over the years.

56:20 Think for yourself
