About the films
Bloemen van de Pomp

When Jason, a young streetsoccer-player, with a clear vision of becoming a professional, gets swept up into a seemingly innocent act of 'easy money', he ends up in a moral nightmare that shakes up everything he stood for.

King Ridwan
Ridwan is a 20-year-old TikTokker with an intellectual disability who wants to be taken seriously in his dream of becoming a successful rapper. He is wildly popular in his city of Leeuwarden, thanks to his videos that have gone viral several times on TikTok. However, his popularity has grown partly because people mock him. His family wants to protect him from the negative effects of social media, but Ridwan wants to be taken seriously in pursuing his passions. Will Ridwan get discouraged by all the obstacles that come his way, or will he continue to believe in his dream of becoming a social media superstar?

About the language
To support learning the Dutch language, both films are Dutch spoken and subtitled. The programme is presented in Dutch, taking into account the pupils' language level. Even the quiz questions are formulated in simple Dutch.

Prior to the cinema visit, teaching materials are available to prepare students for the programme. In addition, we also offer teaching materials that you can go through with your class after the cinema visit.
