‘Second-class citizen’

Society hardens, there is dissatisfaction and there is fear of others without knowing them personally. Prejudice and exclusion dominate and mutual distrust is growing. A breeding ground is created from which grows polarisation and discrimination, these are the order of the day. Politics, the street, the shop floor, the internet, these are all places where you can vent your opinion unfiltered. These statements will eventually affect the individual. What does this hardening do with the society, with a group and with an individual?

The divisions that I perceive I see among back at Moroccan-Dutch boys since. They mention that they experience since a long time, they feel they are stigmatized and put aside in a negative way. The boys feel that they are seen as second-class citizens. What is the effect on someone when he isn’t treated as a full-fledged and equal person?

It brought me to go and hear the personal story of these Moroccan-Dutch boys, born in the Netherlands. This led to a personal and intimate portrait and their environment.

Most of their parents and parents and grandparents were born in Morocco and came in the sixties/ seventies as immigrant worker to the Netherlands. The second and third generation boys grew up in the SchildSchilderswijk where there is a street culture. How do they deal with this culture and the temptations out there. What does these guys get along, what chances do they get, how does it forms them and what choices do they make.

One of the boys I interviewed, Achraf: ‘We we were born in the Netherlands, we live here and we’ll never leave!’
