The Hidden Children of Ruinerwold Farm

Ruinerwold makes world news when a hidden farm is discovered, where a family lives in secret and unregistered for years. The four oldest children tell their story once to documentary maker Jessica Villerius.

The four oldest children tell their story once. The children share the memories of their father, which culminated in alleged abuse and spiritual rituals. They also visit their father in prison after an absence of ten years.

As their father's trial starts, the four older children unpack the painful allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and finally meet their five younger siblings, all now young adults, who continue to support their father.

Shin, Mar Jan and Edino tell how they left and how they have fared since then. They left the family several years ago and told their story in the documentary series 'De Kinderen van Ruinerwold' last weeks.
