Memories of Amsterdam

This is a Dutch language documentary broadcasted on September 30th, 2018, Radio 1, The Netherlands Public Broadcaster.
Summary: The story is about two days in the life of Mohamad Abdul Raheem, a Syrian refugee living in The Netherlands.
The one day, taking place inside the walls of Europe, is the King’s Day in the Netherlands. This is the day on which Mohamad, together with 7 other Syrian refugees will sing in a choir for the Dutch King. 
The other day, taking place outside the walls of Europe, is the day on which Mohamad and his family attempt to flee by boat from Turkey to Greece.
The contrast between these two days couldn’t be bigger. Whereas the King’s Day is obsessively planned down to the smallest detail, the fleeing day on the other side, remains unpredictable to the very last second. 
Yet, there is also a striking resemblance between these two days!
