De Asielzoekmachine

What is it? 

De Asielzoekmachine (The Asylum Seeking Machine) is an on-line multimedia story explaining asylum, migration and refugees in the Netherlands. Viewers are taken through the whole process of arriving in the Netherlands, registering as asylum-seeker, going through the asylum procedure and setting up a new life afterwards.

De Asielzoekmachine was conceived and produced by Dutch journalists Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel, with financial support of a number of Dutch charities and some of the public television stations.
