This film is part of a children's rights campaign in the Netherlands by the Dutch Children's Ombudsman, an official government position. The film is meant to draw attention to Holland's poor record on children's rights and inform Dutch children that, despite what anyone might say, they too have rights.
The campaign is based on real stories by children whose rights have recently been violated. Wanting to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of their experience and precariousness of their positions, we recruited other Dutch kids to help them tell their stories. The campaign includes a total of 4 short films and a series of outdoor posters.
