"One idea can create many ideas"
In 999 Geen Dienst Studio, we try to represent some faces of life, directly, it can be harsh or dramatic like "Mr. Friday" or it can be a comedy like "An Islamist in Oegstgeest". Either way, there will always be a message to deliver.

An Islamist in Oegstgeest
Oegstgeest is a village in the middle of the Netherlands, this village has a reputation of being a land of aristocratic and right wing class.
An Islamist ended up somehow to live in this village. This contradiction might give us a lot of answers about unspoken questions.
What does the word Islamist mean? Is there an artistic views within the Islamism? Can an Islamist find his way in a total liberalism world? and can that world find harmony with him as well?
In this documentary you will find answers to some of these questions.

Ideas are like seeds, need to be planted in the right place, in the right time and need the right gardener to take care of this seed, so it can grow and get strong and produce more seeds.
same as Ideas...
The story of SVA Stichting Vluchtelingen Ambassadeurs - the foundation of refugees ambassadors, is a big example of the seed that needed the right gardener to grow higher and create more ideas.
