ABOUT
This documentary was a part of a project called ‘Soldaten Van Oranje’, spearheaded by Dhr. Dr. J.D.A. de Jong who is a professor in Criminology at the University of Applied Science. It tells the story of underserved youth for which the Dutch government has no clear solution. They end up with brothers Nordin and Said Benselam who shelter difficult ‘cases’ and apply different educational methods which seem to be surprisingly successful.
The short version of this film was premiered at Hogeschool Leiden and is still seeking further funding and the proper momentum.
