After four centuries of shared history, almost 10% of Dutch people have Indian blood in their family. In the cinematic documentary ‘Traces of Indies’, presenter Hans Goedkoop brings national history to life through the historical intertwining of the East Indies and the city of Amersfoort, just another city in the middle of the Netherlands.

 

Producer Reda van der Putten worked for two years on the preliminary research. Presenter Hans Goedkoop wrote the script and presents the documentary. Many aspects of Indian influences on the complete Dutch society are covered: The Indos, the Moluccans but also the veterans and the Totoks, the plantations and the boarding houses.
