MIJN BROER

Touching documentary that addresses both the personal and the societal

(My Brother)

Bart, the 28-year-old brother of filmmaker Koert Davidse, died of AIDS in 1986. Their Zeeland family kept quiet about the disease and Bart's coming out. Forty years later, Koert explores his older brother's liberated life.

Alongside Koert's emotional, intimate, and personal story, this film also addresses broader themes, such as social developments in the 1980s. What was the impact of HIV on those infected, friends, family members, and medical science?
