PUNKS

Netherlands 2019 – Director: Maasja Ooms – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English

The director gets immensely close to the three teenagers, Mitchel, Jahlano und Mike, who have blown the system apart and been sent by the Dutch youth services to France. In long conversations they work together with a support worker to find themselves and the path to a life of (self) responsibility.

We present the German premiere of the film at DOK.fest München 2020 @home.
