Human Forever

Winner Golden Calf Award

Teun is 24, in excellent health, and lives with people with dementia in the closed ward of a nursing home. Why? Teun is now 24, but he won't be for the rest of his life...
‍
Now, people still listen to what Teun wants, what he feels and what he thinks. Now, he is still free to be who he is and to go wherever he wants, but there is a 1 in 5 chance that this will no longer be the case in the future. That is why he is now looking for answers for later.

The independent documentary by filmmaker Jonathan de Jong (Super7even) and humanitarian activist Teun Toebes premiered during a G20 summit, won the Golden Calf for the most-watched documentary ever in Dutch cinemas and has been released in more than 30 countries.
