"Lang jenog jewaad, hei is d’r Vaarsjtieger." ⚒
Many thanks to Chieff Bellstar and Wil Aendekerk for the great song and their endless patience, Kevin Raetsen (Nederlands Mijnmuseum) and Marjo Linders (Schacht Nulland) for opening up their beautiful locations and Frank Holthuizen (Limburgs Museum) and Paulien Berkelaar (Cees Berkelaar Films), who buried us under a mountain of historical images of the mines. And in particular many thanks to all the coalminers of the former Oranje Nassau I and Domaniale mines who were willing to pose in their old uniforms in front of our camera one more time. 🖤
