Private-sector rented accommodation for the Surinamese and Antillean Dutch who increasingly moved to Amsterdam from these former colonies in the early seventies was woefully inadequate. In 1982, André Reeder graduated from The Netherlands Film Academy (NFTVA) with Onderneming onderdak (The Price of Shelter) – a documentary about this appalling situation.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. André Reeder's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. The Price of Shelter is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
