Nicolaas Veul Makes an Unsexy World Fascinating to Watch

Trouw24 September · 21:031 hour ago

Documentary filmmaker Nicolaas Veul explores the challenging world of severe intellectual disability care in his new VPRO series, "As It Comes: 100 Days in Disability Care." Despite facing physical risks and emotional difficulty, Veul immerses himself in a Very Intensive Care unit to capture the dedication of staff and the humanity of residents. Although he leaves after 86 days due to the intensity, the series has garnered over one million views on NPO Start. The documentary prompts reflections on dignity and human connection, contrasting sharply with typical entertainment by focusing on genuine, unvarnished interactions rather than superficial narratives.
