Groot Familie
Documentary2017
This film is not about a large family in the classic sense, but rather a theater family led by Stefan Perceval. The documentary follows the rehearsals of this group of unique people.
Groot Familie is an initiative of Ligo Antwerp (center for basic education Antwerp). This diverse theater group consists of low-literate people, who together share a passion for theater and therefore form a close-knit community.
Big Family is a documentary filled with friendship, inspiration, poignancy, mutual understanding and fun in difficult times.
