Klassen 2020

Synopsis

Is school succeeding in making a difference? This is the question Sarah Sylbing and Ester Gould, creators of the award-winning series Schuldig, asked themselves for their new documentary series Klassen. Once again, they settle in Amsterdam-North; this time, they focus their attention on the children of Group 8. They are eleven years old when the final recommendation for secondary school is given that will influence the rest of their lives. Not all children can rely on support from their parents; some are on their own completely. Fortunately, there are still teachers who care about them. But is that enough?
