Four hundred years ago, the city of Amsterdam had to expand, because it was getting bigger and bigger due to trade. Janouk visits Annemiek Krans, who shows how this expansion took place. Janouk also speaks with Maxence Vrede, who talks about the slave trade from West Africa. This video is from the episode 'World Heritage: Canal Belt'. It was built four hundred years ago... the Amsterdam Canal Belt. The Canal Belt is so special that it is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. But why is the Canal Belt actually world-famous and how did it come into being 400 years ago? Janouk also speaks with Maxence, who tells what her enslaved ancestors have to do with that history. In a song you hear that the Amsterdam canals now belong to everyone.
