About This Movie
His Name Is My Name delves into a rather dark chapter of history through the lens of Eline Jongsma's great-grandfather, known as "Crazy Gerrit." The film captures the tension and moral complexities of wartime Krommenie, blending personal narrative with broader historical context. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing viewers to absorb the chilling reality of his dual existence as a local mayor and fervent NSB member. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive at times, as it tackles themes of legacy and complicity. Jongsma's search for truth about her ancestor feels intimate yet expansive, making it a unique documentary that mixes personal stakes with significant historical reflection.
