Beau will be on the talk show on Thursday Khalid & Sophie to talk about the series. He indicates that the series may be his idea, but that he did not create the series. This was done by, among others, Martijn Heijne, the director of the series that spent a year in the AZC. Beau is previously responsible for various programs about the homeless for RTL and also with him The Car Wash, a series about people who have difficulty entering the labor market, for HUMAN. “The idea every time was to enter that world, talk to those people and let them emancipate,” says Beau about his human interest programs.
In With us at the AZC Both residents and employees of the AZC are followed in daily life. The series has become ‘moving, funny but also terrible’, according to Beau. He hopes that after seeing the series, people will not only open up our hearts a little towards asylum seekers, but also our arms.
Beau has been trying for years to get into an asylum seekers’ center, but often receives no response. In the AD he still complains about this in 2019. “I tried that for two years, but I just can’t get in. We sent letters to Mark Harbers (former State Secretary for Justice and Security) at the time and also contacted the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers. They don’t want it. Apparently they have something to hide and we are not allowed to know what is happening there. It is ridiculous. They invoke the law of privacy, but that is an excuse not to show something. Unbelievable, and that in a democracy,” Beau said at the time.
