Catalogue information
It has been more than twenty years since the last episode of the impressive TV series NEDERLANDERS OVERZEE was broadcast on television, based on an idea by JAN DORRESTEIJN, who was also responsible for the production and direction. The series, about the Dutch colonial past, was made between 1980 and 1986 by FUGA FILM PRODUKTIES BV in co-production with VERONICA OMROEP ORGANIZATIE. The series was created in collaboration with the Working Group for the History of European Expansion of the University of Leiden and with the Cultural History of the Dutch Overseas Foundation in Amsterdam. The series consists of 14 episodes of 50 minutes each. The first episode is, as it were, the prologue to the series and tells about the reasons that contributed to the Dutch expansion. Episodes 2 to 13 deal with the various overseas countries and territories where the Dutch had settled. Episode 14 is a kind of epilogue and shows that typical Dutch / Colonial architecture can be found all over the world.
