When he is ten years old, George Maduro travels from his native Curaçao to study in the Netherlands. Alone, without his parents. Right before the start of the Second World War, he-a Jewish young man-enlists in the Dutch Army. Maduro gets his fame from freeing landmark Villa Dorrepaal in The Hague from the Nazi’s; with only fifteen soldiers and hardly any arsenal. After being held captive as a prisoner of war, George joins The Resistance. Despite all resistance and repeated arrests, George stays in the Netherlands until there is no other option. Then he flees the country; to England via France. It all goes horribly wrong near the Belgian-French border. George is betrayed and put behind bars again. This time, however, he will not be set free. Maduro dies, age twenty-eight, in the Dachau concentration camp, mere months before the liberation. To commemorate their son, his parents funded Madurodam, a miniature city in The Hague. George Maduro would be 100 years old in 2016. This thrilling short youth film tells George’s story using interviews and unique archival material.
