Overview
Shot on location in The Netherlands, this film explores the remarkable legacy of Bob Angelo (Niek Engelschman), a gay, half-Jewish Resistance agent who risked his life helping others during the Nazi occupation. After the war, inspired by the 1946 UN Declaration of Human Rights, he became a pioneering force behind LGBTQ+ rights in The Netherlands. Though known publicly as a successful TV actor, his hidden identity as Bob Angelo sparked lasting social change, helping shape the nation’s reputation for tolerance. With powerful music and a bold, unconventional approach, the film is a timely reminder of a legacy that still resonates—and one we may need now more than ever.
