Camiel Zwart finished his study on the film academy as a
director in 2006 with the film Amen. This documentary tells the story
about two girls from a very religious church. The girls will start
their studies and must leave their Christian village for God forsaken
big city. The film shows how they try to survive there, without the
support of their family.
