Podcast #4: Verhullen
In the fourth episode of the Movies that Matter Podcast, we are at Flora Filmtheater in The Hague and we discuss the documentary Verhullen, an intimate film about healing, mental health, the power of vulnerability, and artistry, set against the backdrop of The Hague's nightlife. 18 September, 2025
Our guests are filmmaker Jesse Plum and DJ and nightlife programmer Gino van Dam, also known as JEANS.
Jesse is a self-taught director with a background in business administration who uses a personal and observational style to tell stories about human resilience, recovery, and identity. Verhullen is his first documentary. Gino is a key figure in The Hague’s nightlife, where he found his place as a DJ and programmer after an eventful youth. In Verhullen, he returns to pivotal moments from his past and shows how music, spirituality, and community can be a path to recovery.
