Sywert van Lienden establishes contact with the government about supplying face masks. Through his tweets and political connections, he manages to put pressure on Minister Hugo de Jonge.

An intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the trio and The Hague, based on conversations with key players, numerous chat messages, and never-before-seen audio and video recordings.
