8 minutes
The Netherlands is the drug capital of Europe. Marijuana is in the nation’s genes, coke enters the country through its harbors, and XTC is as Dutch as chocolate sprinkles. In the Industry VR, director Mirka Duijn introduces you to the world of illegal drugs in The Netherlands.
In The Industry VR, director Mirka Duijn introduces six people working in the drug trade. Marijuana growers, coke barons and drug traffickers tell stories about the kicks and the stress of their illegal work. As you listen to their stories, you can explore the places where they work: from a suburban living room to the industrial outskirts of a small city, and from a small boat to a huge antique shop. The drug trade is everywhere—you just have to learn to recognize its often banal tell-tale signs.
