'Big Break' (2026)

Synopsis

Amsterdam, 2005. The golden age of Dutch colonialism is long in our rear view, and in place of the VOC, new organizations stand tall. Organizations that will endure and make us prouder by solving the problems we created, with solutions we devised. 

They are NGOs. Non-profits. Humanitarian organizations.  Homegrown but shipped out internationally. 

But not for long. A legacy NGO based in Amsterdam is in the process of changing that very concept. They will no longer be going to these communities in need. Instead, the communities in need will come to them. In just a few weeks, they will expand their do-good nature by inviting international community leaders here and innovating their funding-reliant international food programs. 

And although their methods are changing, at the very core of what they have always done and always will do is good.

…or is it?

Leona Steele, a junior reporter for the European News Network, is on the scene to ask that very question. Ready to make the leap from fluff piece reporter to investigative journalist, Leona's ‘gotcha’ moment is just around the corner, as well as a few surprises she hasn’t quite prepared for.
