The Smith & Jones mission is to provide multiple treatment options for anyone in the Netherlands and abroad that suffers from addictions or compulsive behaviours. The mission of the foundation is to educate young people about addictions and to equip them to fight the addiction if it appears.
The Smith& Jones GAMESTERDAM clinic is the first treatment facility in the world that is specialised in and focused on treating people whose lives have become unmanageable as a result of their on- or offline video gaming behaviour.
Europe correspondent Christoph Nufer from the Swiss public TV broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen travels to the Netherlands to make a background reportage about this treatment for gaming addiction for the program ’10 vor 10’. He interviews the boss of the Smith & Jones, a therapist and portrays several participants.
For this reportage Featurez did the research, set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
