From factory to porch #3: The explosion-free city

The third episode of the AT5 documentary series "Van fabriek tot portiek" explores potential solutions to the surge of explosive violence in Amsterdam, highlighting the recruitment of children as young as 12 to plant explosives. Amsterdam's chief prosecutor and European MEPs advocate for unified EU regulations to address the inconsistent laws regarding illegal fireworks, such as Cobras, which fuel the attacks. The series, which examines the entire supply chain of explosives, airs on AT5 and YouTube between September 29 and October 3.
