Anton de Kom, mijn vader - Raymi Sambo maakt
In Anton de Kom, mijn vader Doris takes the audience into a story, but it soon grows into a deeply personal quest. As an adopted child from Suriname, she feels estranged from her Dutch parents. She experiences her family as a puzzle that never quite fits and decides to go in search of her roots.
That search leads her to the life story of Anton de Kom, the legendary Surinamese resistance hero who fought against colonial oppression. His struggle, ideals and courage move her deeply. The more Doris immerses herself in his life, the more clearly she sees the parallels with her own struggles. Slowly her research turns into an intimate encounter. Anton de Kom feels like the father she never knew, a guide in her search for identity and recognition. What does family mean, and to what extent does your background determine who you are?
Anton de Kom, mijn vader is a moving and inspiring show about struggle, connectedness and the fundamental question: “Where do you belong?”
