Partners
Martien van Hemmen, chairman of Exodus Huissen is a partner of ‘Betuwe44’. Bram’s idea of portraying these stories in a feature film fits in nicely with the aim of the Exodus Huissen foundation: to continue to commemorate the struggle and fate of vulnerable civilians in the Betuwe in the aftermath of the Second World War. And it fits in with other activities such as walking-tours and landscapes decorated with monuments and other points of interest. In addition to actors, members of various re-enactment associations play a role in the film. Their knowledge and enthusiasm make this a film for and by local people.
Wanted sponsors
AC Films would like to get in touch with as many people as possible who can contribute to the production of the feature film. Such as writers, historians or civilians who think they can contribute something. But of course funds and other people who are interested in sponsoring this film are also very welcome.

The Betuwe44 foundation
The Betuwe44 Foundation was established to realize the film and financing thereof. This foundation is responsible for acquiring and managing funds and other assets. The board of the foundation consists of independent persons.
Planning
The teaser is now ready and we are busy raising the funds to produce the rest of the film. When hopefully by 2019 the financing is complete, the team will continue with the most important film recordings during the autumn and winter months. The film will be released in May 2020 in collaboration with various local authorities, as part of the 75th anniversary of the Market Garden. After the first local presentation, the idea is that the film will become available for museums and various historical and educational initiatives.
