Daan van Citters

How a concealed history shapes who we are, and who we are yet to become…

Daan van Citters (29, filmmaker) and Joenoes Polnaija (32, actor) become friends on the set of the feature film The East. They travel together to Indonesia, where they follow in the footsteps of their grandfathers, who fought on the side of the Netherlands against Indonesian independence - “on the wrong side of history.” Their journey confronts them with a complex understanding of right and wrong, victims and perpetrators, officers and soldiers.
