About De Tegenfilm
The film opens with a fictional NOS News broadcast from 2015, reporting that it has been exactly five years since Sharia law was introduced in the Netherlands. This is presented as Wilders' nightmare. Ersin Kiris then poses the question of where Wilders' antipathy towards Muslims comes from. He travels to Wilders' birthplace, Venlo, where he investigates whether ethnic tensions exist. Kiris interviews psychologist Bram Bakker about Wilders' youth. He also speaks with political scientist André Krouwel about Wilders' strategy and how he, as a Muslim, must deal with it. Additionally, De Tegenfilm features animations with caricatures of Wilders.
Directed by Ersin Kiris, Vincent van der Lem, De Tegenfilm leans on a strong ensemble — Bram Bakker, Ersin Kiris, André Krouwel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2008.
