De Clown van Utereg plot

In this documentary, filmmakers Floris Meinardi and Bart Grimbergen delve into the life of Utrecht comedian Herman Berkien, who died in 2005. Berkien combined the song 'Als ik boven op de Dom sta' by Rijk de Gooijer with the song 'Utereg me stadsie' written by him and made sure that this song became the national anthem of Utrecht. The film is a tribute to an artist from Utrecht who was put on a pedestal by many, but who struggled with life.
