Schuld & Boete: In De Wurggreep Van De Schuldenindustrie
Documentary in which aid applicants and aid workers paint a staggering picture of how the debt industry works and show why people sometimes sink deeper and deeper into financial problems.
It is a cycle that seems difficult to break: debts lead to fines, and those fines in turn lead to higher debts. SCHULD EN BOETE documents the human side of this problem and shows the pressure bailiffs and collection agencies can put on people.
The stress of ever-increasing debts has a huge impact on people’s lives. This documentary exposes a system that is based on escalation. As a result, debts are rapidly becoming problematic, often unnecessarily, and people are no longer able to solve their financial problems on their own. The key question is: what needs to change? What is the reason why, despite an army of aid workers, there is still no solution to this issue?
