A selection from my documentaries:

'Jetske's Race' (2019/KRO-NCRV))
At the moment, Jetske van der Schaar (38) is still a very healthy young woman. But Jetske is involved in a race against time. She is a carrier of the Alzheimer's gene and she knows that she will develop Alzheimer's disease in her early fifties if a cure is not found in time. Together with leading neurologist Philip Scheltens, she is fighting a difficult battle to be allowed to participate in groundbreaking international scientific research. For Jetske perhaps her only chance of survival.

'Better dead than missing' (2018/ Omroep MAX)
During the Second World War, countless Allied pilots and other crew members crashed their planes in our country. To this day, hundreds of them still lie among the debris in Dutch soil.
To the sorrow of surviving relatives, not all municipalities proceed with the recovery of the victims. Why is salvage done in one municipality and not in another? And why is a real grave so important for relatives?

'The trail to Auschwitz' (2017/KRO-NCRV)
Why didn't the Allies bomb the railway lines to Auschwitz and other extermination camps in World War II? How could it happen that the gas chambers were also left undisturbed?

'Lost Band' (2009/ NCRV)
What do you do when your father and mother don't speak to each other for 40 years? As a child, can you get your divorced parents on speaking terms again? In 'Lost Band' I follow journalist Frenk van der Linden during the painful, tender and revealing encounters with his parents.

A selection of the programs:

'Laughter after the Twin Towers' (2011/VARA)
Ten years after the attacks on the Twin Towers, four leading comedians - Erik van Muiswinkel, Claudia de Breij, Jan Jaap van der Wal, Jetty Mathurin - exchange ideas in the Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg about the way in which comedians practiced their profession in the past decade.

'Het Klokhuis' (1990-2009 NTR)
Het Klokhuis is an informative children's program for children between 8 and 12 years old. Programs that provide more insight into our complicated society and promote the creativity and opinion formation of the target group. I have created hundreds of programs for Het Klokhuis on many subjects, often involving art and culture, nature and health.

A selection of my corporate films:

'Beautiful Work' (2008/CWI)
A farewell film about the CWI (Centre for Work and Income) on the occasion of the merger with the UWV. In this film, commissioned by the CWI, Figuli Producties shows what the CWI has meant and achieved for our society.

'Joost' (2013 / Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment)
A short film commissioned by the SZW Inspectorate, Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, on the occasion of a conference on the safe handling of carcinogenic substances.
The film provides a compelling insight into how mesothelioma (lung cancer) can develop after inhaling asbestos.
