Anak Indië plot

The Netherlands has over two million people with roots in the former colony of the Dutch East Indies, of whom over 300,000 were forced to repatriate to the Netherlands after the Second World War. For Dutch East Indies people, Moluccan families and Peranakan Chinese, it meant a new beginning in a country that did not always welcome them with open arms. By means of collage animations, music, 8mm archive footage and personal stories of well-known Dutch East Indies people such as Yvonne Keuls, Adriaan van Dis and Wieteke van Dort – the film shows how they had to build a new life.
