Most state and country-produced videos promote tourism (like that great Australian one). This new one from the Netherlands, which is required watching for potential new immigrants just does the opposite.
The film shows scenes of two gay men kissing and of a topless woman getting out of the ocean and walking on a beach. Many are seeing it as a way to keep Muslims out. The video also shows poor Dutch immigrant neighborhoods and Dutch immigrants speaking disparagingly about their new home..
"The film is meant for people not yet in Holland to take note that this is normal here and not be shocked and awed by it once they arrive," said Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born member of the Dutch Parliament.
Seems like it's meant to keep everyone out.
Haven't actually seen the video but would love to if anyone can get it.
