Start Gemist

Start Gemist is a Belgium documentary which aired on VRT MAX. The series premiered on December 19, 2023.

The documentary fits in with the theme of The Warmest Week: growing up without worries. Everyone deserves a warm childhood and every opportunity to develop and be able to play, romp, adolescence and laugh without worries. But that is not the case for everyone. Thirty-five-year-old Hinda Bluekens is a journalist, presenter and screenwriter. Always cheerful, but behind the ever cheerful Hinda lies a missed start. She ended up in a children's home as a baby, was placed in a foster home when she was four years old and was eventually adopted by them.
