Being witness to the creation of this film still feels surreal. From the real life recollections and events, to various versions of the script, production amidst a global pandemic, to finally a finished piece of art...
Us Together / Samen Wij is the culmination of a childhood that should've never existed but unfortunately is a reality for a lot of children. Even though I've never experienced such conflicting emotions as a child, I still felt sorry for her and started to think about the impact her father's actions will have in the years to come.
Heartbreaking tenderness that swallowed me whole, from start to finish.
