According to climate scientists, the year 2050 will be a tipping point in the history of our planet. As seawater slowly but surely warms up, the ice in Antarctica is melting before our very eyes.

Every episode, one interesting Belgian visits "The House" ("Het huis") for 24 hours. In this imposing house with a pool, surrounded by a forest, in an unknown location, the visitor is "locked away" from the rest of the world for 24 hours. They are interviewed, dissected, confronted by the interviewer.

After "Level 4" and "The Prosecutor's Office," Eric Goens now pulls out all the stops in the gripping new documentary series "Dealing with Cocaine." For eight weeks, he explores every corner of the international drug trade. He interviews drug criminals in Ecuador and Colombia, but also rides along with the Belgian police. Day and night, they try to get a handle on the illegal trade, which is becoming increasingly professional and violent in our country. It's a constant chase after kingpins in the drug world, who still too often slip through the cracks. Because the drug problem is – unfortunately – no longer a distant issue. Exploding grenades in residential areas, shootings in squares among playing children… How did it come to this in a country like Belgium? Are we really heading towards a narco-state? The series provides a serious wake-up call and exposes how complex, dangerous, and dehumanizing the circuit behind a single line of cocaine truly is.

The documentary tells the story of Salah Adbeslam, from his childhood years in a warm nest in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, about his radicalization, to his part in the bloody terror attack five years ago. Step by step, documentary maker Eric Goens takes the viewers into the subcutaneous world where jihadist leaders recruit petty criminals for their holy war. Salah Abdeslam was only one of them, but he became the face of evil.
