Gevangen op Java plot

Dramatized documentary about the life of writer Willem Walraven (1887-1943). After wandering through America for a number of years, Walraven left for the Indies at the beginning of this century. In 1941 he was labeled an enemy of the state by the Dutch authorities and imprisoned in a Javanese prison. Captured on Java shows how Walraven, played by Gerard Thoolen, looks back in his cell on his life and the process that preceded his incarceration. In addition to dramatized scenes and archive footage, the film shows recordings of two men, including human rights activist Poncke Princen, who follow in Walraven's footsteps through contemporary Java. Gradually the image emerges of a controversial writer whose life and work formed an inseparable whole.
