Otto-Jan Ham makes a program about drugs. Because drugs have fascinated him all his life, but also and perhaps especially because he has three young daughters of his own. He also watches 'The News'. He knows how ubiquitous drugs are. It's only a matter of time before the apple of his eye is offered MDMA, or at least a hastily rolled joint. And so, because his sleep is dear to him, he wants to look the enemy straight in the eye. Objective and with an open mind. 'Drugs', a sober look at mind-expanding shit.
