It may be a bit messy, but still (after 2 episodes) this is at least interesting, where you get the answers to the many questions from a number of children themselves. New issues also emerge in each episode, so that not all the powder has been used up in episode 1.

I met this Gerrit Jan myself a number of times, a long time ago, and a number of children were sometimes there too, but the fact that it ('behind the scenes', so to speak) was so colorful and had to become much more colorful is beyond me.' beyond understanding.

I also don't know yet whether these four children could immediately see what they were getting into when this series was made. Anyway, brave.

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.

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.
