''Als De Dijken Breken'' is a Dutch-Flemish series which was broadcast in 2016.
When a super storm hits the Netherlands and Belgium, the dikes break and water floods into the western part of both countries. Since a lot of it is below sea level, big parts get washed over by the water
It is seen from the perspective from several people, from politicians, to a young girl finding shelter with an old man, a family, a prison-guard and a prisoner and his family.
