Documentary 'Mama may I go home,'

A touching and hopeful documentary about loss and connection What happens to a mother when her child cannot grow up with her, but her heart keeps beating? In this touching Dutch documentary, six mothers share their experiences with the out-of-home placement of their children, their feelings of loss and guilt, and the difficult yet hopeful steps toward cooperation with the foster parents. The film shows how love, courage, and resilience can be stronger than judgment and pain, and how connection remains possible in difficult circumstances. The documentary is made by Jesse van Venrooij and Eline van der Kaa, both known for their intimate and socially engaged films that dare to break taboos and let real stories be heard. The screening will be followed by a post-screening discussion with Pleegzorg Vlaanderen about the importance of parental involvement and cooperation. This discussion offers space for questions, reflection, and the exchange of experiences. In collaboration with House of the Child (Huis van het Kind) and Pleegzorg Vlaanderen
