A performance by LAPD & Made in da Shade about drug trafficing and democracy in the Netherlands. 
This performance was presented during RIGHTABOUTNOW.NUfrom June 27 - July 8 2006, at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.

 In May and June, four members of LAPD spent a two-month residency in Amsterdam working with company members of Made in da Shade; a professional theater based in Amsterdam comprised of Dutch people of South and North African ancestry. With directors John Malpede and Maarten van Hinte, LAPD and Made in da Shade created a new performance about drug trafficing in the Netherlands and it's effects on society. A starting point in building the performance was transcripts of the 'IRT Hearings'; a public parlimentary investigation into allegations of Dutch police involvement in international drug trafficing.
