Shinewereld (2015) is a revealing documentary made with BNN about young Dutch people on YouTube. They live in a peculiar virtual world whose inhabitants are young, funny, good-looking and successful… or so it seems.
For a year the viewer follows a group of popular Dutch YouTubers who between them have more than a million fans and millions of views a month. Some of them can even live off their videos, one rather more comfortably than the next. It looks easy — but is it? Is it simply a matter of throwing a video online, sitting back and counting the money?
You are taken through every stage of the process, getting to know these YouTubers through candid conversations and hilarious situations.
