Brave Little Belgium is a content platform curated by Creative Belgium.
We look at Belgium's top work from an international perspective.
'Why is it brave and typically Belgian?'

our mission statement

100 years ago, they called us brave little belgium.
Or 'these little fuckers.' We had our own ideas.
When they asked us to step in line, we peed on their shoes.
Dangerous. But brave.
That typifies us, Belgians.
So let's be proud of our brave ideas. And show them.
By gathering the best work from hellhole and beyond,
we make the rest pee their pants again.
Because the little fuckers are back.
#BraveLittleBelgium.

Skunk

‘Skunk’ is director Koen Mortier's latest film, based on Geert Taghon's book of the same name about his years of experience in forensic youth psychiatry. Both are thus based on true stories of several young people, families and social workers. The film follows Liam (played by revelation Thibaud Dooms), a neglected teenager growing up in a family where drugs and violence play the main role. His destructive home is soon exchanged for a closed juvenile facility that also has its own rules and abuses. Even though he finds solace with his supervisors, the past continues to haunt him.
