Anthropology of the Dutch: Moluccan people in the Netherlands

The Dutch Moluccans, proud warriors in exile, form a close community. The homesickness of their country of origin binds them together, along with the rage about what has been taken away from them and the strength they draw out of their own feelings. On their motorcycles, they feel like the brave warriors of ago, and enforce respect through their appearance. Michael Schaap accompanies them, researching the essence of the rage driving them.

Original Title: De Hokjesman - De Molukkers
Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.
