Based on inside interviews, a picture is painted of one of the most discussed government teams in the Netherlands: the Den Uyl cabinet between 1973 and 1977.

Documentary about the work and life of Hedy d'Ancona (1937) and the issues she has always championed: women's rights, the right to self-determination, and a dignified end of life. Interviews with D'Ancona are interwoven with scenes of women who, in 2022, are committed to the same themes, such as abortion activist Eva de Goeij, PvdA alderwoman Marjolein Moorman, and euthanasia advocate Adrienne Buschmann. The fight for equality remains relevant, and D'Ancona's ideas are still worth fighting for.

This documentary was shot in 2018 and 2019 within the walls of The Hague Binnenhof and examines how our democracy works and shows that it is under considerable pressure. The Binnenhof now looks different in the corona era. It has also become quieter there and people keep their distance, but the question whether and how our democracy will survive is just as important as before.
