About Echte Mannen Huilen Niet
In the Netherlands, a large proportion of men face mental health challenges. However, openness regarding this remains rare, especially in the world of football. What does it mean to act strong in a culture where silence is the norm? A group of professional football players gather in a retreat to start to open themselves up to themselves and to others.
Directed by Jan Paul van der Velden, Echte Mannen Huilen Niet leans on a strong ensemble — Gianni Zuiverloon, Edson Braafheid, Ron Vlaar — 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 2026.
