New film by Denys Khrystov
in the National Military Museum
Join us for the preview
from our friend's new movie
Denys Khrystov, perhaps the greatest Ukrainian hero.
Denys Khrystov, alias the Dutchman, risks his own life evacuating war victims from areas where almost no one else dares to go. He drives into front-line areas where most people are fleeing. Over the years, he has rescued hundreds of people from dire situations and literally saved hundreds of lives. His social media is filled with moments when he narrowly escaped death. He has survived multiple drone attacks.
You saw him regularly in our documentary "Fatatje Oorlog" (Chips in War) , and we carried out our very first evacuation in the Donbas alongside him, knees shaking. He also plays a key role in our television series "Fatatje Hoop" (Chips in Hope) . Our respect for him is immense, because we know better than anyone what his work entails.
We previously had the pleasure of hosting the premiere of his previous film, 1 Percent of War, in Eindhoven. It was a huge success, with visitors from all over the country and even beyond.
Preview at a unique location
Now you get another chance to be one of the first to see his new film.
The preview is on Sunday, November 30 , at the National Military Museum in Soesterberg , an impressive location full of aircraft, tanks and historic vehicles.
Also on display is the unique exhibition War Stories. Ukraine up close by war photographer Eddy van Wessel ,
with his moving images from Ukraine.
Denys himself present
Denys and his team will be present at the screening. Afterward, he will speak extensively about his work, the situation in the Donbas, and answer questions from the audience. This is a unique opportunity to meet one of the most experienced evacuation leaders of the war in person.
Denys in Christmas with Franky and Coen
Denys will also be a special guest on our Christmas talk show, "Kerst met Franky en Coen," which will air on RTL7 on December 24th and will be repeated four times in December and January on RTL4 and RTL7. This Christmas show will be hosted by Natasja Froger, and several other well-known Dutch personalities will also be appearing. Commander of the Armed Forces, General Onno Eichelsheim, will also be joining us. During the broadcast, we will reflect on the war, on hope, and on our two dearest friends, Alyona and Zhenya, who were killed in a cowardly drone attack.
