The Dutch idea of a free society includes a legalized sex industry, the open sale of marijuana and hashish, total equality for gays, distribution of clean syringes and methadone to addicts, and government financed abortion, euthanasia and sex education for schoolchildren. Has this unconventional approach changed Holland from a land of tulips, windmills and wooden shoes into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah? Apparently not. In Holland rates of drug use, addiction and AIDS transmission are extremely low, and the Dutch have the lowest rates of abortion, teenage pregnancy and imprisonment in the world. Filmed over the course of many months spent in Holland by writer/director Jonathan Blank, the provocative documentary has revealing interviews with everyone from government officials, police, clergy and scientists to club owners, drug dealers and prostitutes and outrageous scenes from hash bars, brothels, nightclubs, prisons and rallies.

Vermin Supreme is no ordinary presidential candidate. Promising a free pony for every American, a fully funded time travel research program, and unprecedented zombie preparedness initiatives for a new American Republic, he truly is the people's candidate and the friendly fascist par excellence. "Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey" follows Vermin Supreme's raucous 2012 campaign from the Rainbow Gathering in the the Cherokee National Forest to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to Occupy Wall Street protests, and all the way to heart of the American Empire in Washington, DC.

In the year 2055 AD (333 years of the planet Bermuda), an international research flying saucer led by Chinese captain Mo Jiahai was searching for planets with signs of life in space. They found a humanoid planet but ran out of energy while performing space shuttle and could no longer start up just after reaching this planet. The surviving Earthlings found that their bodies' respiratory systems could not fully adapt. Unwilling to pin their hopes entirely on the AI robots, some of the Earthlings endured the uncomfortable air and stepped out of the ship, where they secretly reproduced on the planet. Hundreds of years passed, and the Earthlings who gradually adapted to the planet Bermuda also reproduced secretly from generation to generation, with the secret of the flying saucer buried deep in the desert of the planet.
