The Heart of Amsterdam chronicles the rise and fall of Amsterdam's underworld: a documentary based on forty years of filming in and around Amsterdam's Red Light District.

A search for the origin of the Sinterklaas celebration. More than 30 years of research was spent on this release, in which, during a period of the last 20 years, Saint Nicholas and Midwinter rites have been filmed in almost all European countries, as well as outside. For two years it has been perfected and assembled. From over a hundred hours of material, a film was created that sheds a completely different light on the Sinterklaas festival and the issue of Zwarte Piet. With new insights from experts who were never seen or heard on television.
