The history of the Netherlands from the bronze age to the 20th century told through ten re-enacted documentaries.

Ten periods from Dutch history are highlighted in the series and various events are brought to life by being acted out by actors. In his role as narrator, Schuurmans is on site and only he breaks through the fourth wall, providing the viewer with an explanation. As a presenter, he walks in historically important places in the here and now to provide additional explanations. The dramatized scenes are interspersed with commentaries provided by historians and other experts. Many of the actors belong to re-enactment companies, whose specialty is to depict historical events or to provide as faithful a representation as possible of people of a particular era.—wikipedia
