De Kinderen van Ruinerwold season 1

Such situations are gripping, of course, and the eldest children elaborately explain their opinions and also their doubts about it and some testimonials really grab you by the throat.
On the other hand, I felt that some circumstances, such as the impact of the school and where the older children ended up when they left the house and how they lived up to the time of the indictment, were not really addressed.
All in all, a remarkable documentary.

De Kinderen van Ruinerwold season 1

Reasonable documentary. The story is of course very disturbing for Dutch standards, but the documentary does not make much of an impression. The documentary is especially messy edited (not logical) and important parts of the story are missing. For example, we get to hear almost nothing about the story of the other suspect in this story and we also learn little from the children who were actually locked up all that time. I liked the final episode the most because of the complex role that Israel had to take on.
