Miek Hehenkamp wrote a script for a documentary about the return of refugees and done a lot of research. Filmmaker Roy Dames has filmed 4 cases in 4 different countries. The result is a documentary serial "Terug" ("Return") which will be broadcasted in 4 parts in December 2007 by the NPS . There are many social aspects about this subject which will make it worth to give it a broader and deeper range then the documentary serial will. Crossmedia tools could give the serial an essential follow up and keep the stories alive of the participants. On the other hand this tool can build up a community of people living in Holland who care about the faith of our former refugees who returned to their country. Willemiek van den Oever (www.oeverwerk.nl) is involved as well she will manage the realisation of the network. The network will be called www.vriendenvanterug.nl
