Documentary

In the new four-part documentary series HARD, PowNed explores the origins and rise of hardcore and hardstyle. It shows how a small country can make a big impact. Or rather: how things can get really intense in a small country. What began as a rough-and-tumble underground movement in warehouses and squats has grown into an international multimillion-dollar business. HARD will be available to stream on NPO Start starting October 29.
