Customer Reviews of Sex Drugs & Democracy

It is a warm and fuzzy video about true (brotherly) love. It shows how the wisdom that was started out of America made its way only to the Netherlands. Out of the whole, ENTIRE world, perhaps the Netherlands is the only place where the Dalai Lama wouldn't mind living.

I almost cried while watching. The prostitutes are cared for and treated like human beings. Women are taught how to box, and their championship boxer (female) says, "I always box with men. They're pretty good." :-D

--But the most touching thing I saw in it was that people (the govt.) actually drive around, handing out clean needles to addicts. --Wow! What love! I have never heard of such a mature society before!

As the Dutch say repeatedly in the movie, "If you ignore the problem, it's only going to get worse. These people are going to die."

Sex Drugs, & Democracy -or- Why am I still here?
I first saw Sex Drugs and Democracy 6 years ago, in Canada, upon it's initial release. When it was over I wondered how quickly I could get from the movie theatre to the airport. Six years later, after watching the film for the second time, my wife and I wondered how quickly we could get to the airport from our bedroom. This is a movie about FREEDOM. This is a movie about FREEDOM and CIVILIZATION and RESPONSIBILITY and FEARLESSNESS. And WISDOM. It is wisdom born out of a common sense notion about what human beings need to reach their individual and communal potential, as well as a refreshing trust in their ability to acheive that potential without creating chaos. In the USA we give freedom lip service. In Holland Freedom is a solid thing to be touched by all. This movie is REVOLUTIONARY. After watching it you'll know why Blockbuster doesn't carry it. And, after you have watched it, been turned on by it, you too will ask: Why am I still here?

Enlightening!!!
It is extremely difficult to review a video(especially one such as this) in merely a few words. On the surface this a documentary that unfolds the social and political structures that make Holland what it is from both a fundamental historical perspective and a modern day to day perspective as told through interviews with every kind of person you can imagine. As far as what I got out of this video...All I can really say is that I found this documentary to be enlightening in the fullest sense of the word. The video watches like a 'how to succeed in running your country' manual...and watching this video will convince you that the Dutch have it down pat! I believe that everyone would like to change (fix?) the world and this video serves to add fuel to that fire within. Anyone with the slightest interest in how society, the world and people just getting along works should watch this...you will be pleasantly enthralled and in the process discover that there is hope for the world yet!
