Documentary: Who Cares – Healthcare Access in The Netherlands

November 9, 2025

1. One in thirty people in Amsterdam is an undocumented immigrant. They are denied the right to health insurance, but they do have the right to healthcare. Nonetheless, many undocumented people do not receive the healthcare they are entitled to. 
2. Health care is a basic human right, so how can it be that undocumented people are regularly denied access to care? Who cares explores the harsh reality of undocumented people living in Amsterdam. A reality in which you can be terminally ill, but still faced with closed hospital doors. 
3. Understanding the need for awareness on this topic, AT5 aired this documentary on their TV-channel multiple times. You can also watch this at: https://beyondbordersmedia.com/portfolios/documentary-who-cares.
