Season 5

Faith healers are becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Ewout travels to the birthplace of this phenomenon to investigate why they are growing in popularity. He attends a service of the greatest faith healer, a self-proclaimed apostle who claims to be able to cure all ailments, including homosexuality. How much faith do you need to have in the miracles of these faith healers?

Ewout explores the world of people striving for a significant extension of their lifespan. He speaks with individuals who believe that, thanks to technological advancements, they can reach the age of 180. Additionally, he visits a company where the bodies of the wealthy and famous deceased are frozen, in the hope that they can be brought back to life in the future. In doing so, Ewout poses the question: is this truly desirable?

Ewout accompanies the police on patrols in one of the world's most dangerous neighborhoods: the Manenberg township in Cape Town. In an environment plagued by widespread drug abuse and violent gang conflicts, he observes firsthand how officers carry out their duties. Confrontation with this harsh reality raises the question of whether their efforts are truly effective in a community where violence is deeply rooted.

In the United States, prostitution is illegal in virtually all states, with a few exceptions. Ewout spends three days at Nevada's most notorious brothel to gain an accurate picture of the day-to-day operations. He delves into the consequences of illegal prostitution in Las Vegas and investigates whether sex workers in legal brothels actually enjoy better working conditions and protection.
