Synopsis
Winner - Beeld & Geluid IDFA Reframe Award
Selling a Colonial War exposes the Dutch government's narrative during the Indonesian War of Independence. Using propaganda and collaborating with media and historians, they framed their military interventions as peacekeeping. Hidden beneath was a motive to retain their valuable colony for post-war recovery and global status. This monumental documentary unravels the concealed history, revealing layers of deceit and global politics, spotlighting the enduring narrative that masked the Netherlands' actions in Indonesia for years.
