The land of giants

Research shows that the Dutch took over the position of the ‘tallest people in the world’ from the Americans. At the same time the second runners up, the Scandinavian countries, stay behind now.

For the program Nightline ABC News correspondent Jim Sciutto travels to the Netherlands to portray a member of the Dutch tall people club, to see what it means to be so tall. He also meets a tall mother that has her thoughts about the enormous height of her 9 year young daughter. The young girl might have to take medicines to stop her from growing too tall. A Dutch anthropologist shows ancient bones to explain when and why the Dutch became the Giants of the world.

For this background reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning of the filming, booked a rental car, did the driving and accompanied the filming.
