Deported

This is a four part series on the fate of deported children of asylum-seekers in the Netherlands. Over the past ten years, many hundreds of children have been deported to countries they have little or no memory of, their parents having sought political asylum in the Netherlands but ultimately been rejected, leaving them the choice of leaving voluntarily in exchange for money or being forcibly deported by the Dutch government. Politically responsible administrators guaranteed that these children would be fine in the country of their parents. But virtually nothing is known about what actually happened to them after their deportation. This series tells the story of deported children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, and Kosovo.

Episode 4

Director Thomas Blom investigates whether current Dutch asylum policy respects international children's rights. The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee demonstrates how they operate when deporting children. Journalist Sinan Can travels to Armenia, where Marianna (11) must build a new life with her mother and brother after six years in the Netherlands. Her father was separated from the family during their deportation and sent to another country. They were unable to say goodbye to him. In this final episode, it becomes clear that all the children visited face similar problems and ask the same questions about how they were deported from the Netherlands.
