Synopsis

[edit | edit source]

The film documents the real-life events behind a 2012 teenage party in the Dutch village of Haren that spiraled into chaos after going viral on social media.[2][3] The incident, often called the "real Project X" inspired international headlines for the mass attendee turnout, property damage, and police clashing with attendees following an accidental public birthday invitation on Facebook.[4][5]

The series interviews residents, police and partygoers, including Merthe Weusthuis, whose birthday invitation sparked the event.[6] By August 2025, the documentary received 7.4 million views.[7]
