(Re)membering the riots in Afrikaanderwijk in 1972 or guest, host, ghos-ti (2024)
In 1972, the arrival of migrant workers led to riots in the Rotterdam neighbourhood of Afrikaanderwijk. An explosion of violence ensued, accompanied by a hailstorm of stones and Molotov cocktails. As the current generation recount testimonials, the events are reconstructed and imbued with present-day significance. This effect is amplified through the use of a split screen showing past and present at the same time. In (Re)membering the riots in Afrikaanderwijk in 1972 or guest, host, ghos-ti, visual artist Cihad Caner explores the things we remember and the things we forget and how memories and perspectives are bound to time and place – different for each individual.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
