It didn&#8217;t started with a brief. But I just came across Obada&#8217;s story in a local newspaper on a Sunday morning. The fact that he is the biggest YouTuber in the Netherlands and lives in a small town with millions of followers thousands of miles away &#8211; fascinated me. That same week we agreed to meet. In our conversation, I noticed that he has a much bigger story to tell. So I started looking for the right parties by using my network. Many brands said &#8220;no,&#8221; broadcasters hesitated. Until we knocked on the door of public broadcaster VPRO. Thanks to the fantastic work of director Sakir Khader, who followed Obada closely for months, the film became a reality. It even resulted in a selection for NFF 2021.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits:<\/strong><br><br>Regie, camera, fotografie &amp; geluid:&nbsp;Sakir Khader<br>Montage:&nbsp;Fatih Tura<br>Dramaturgie:&nbsp;Astrid Bussink<br>Eindredactie:&nbsp;Ruby Deelen<br>Colorist:&nbsp;Michiel Rummens<br>Audiomixage:&nbsp;Regard Ibrahim<br>Productie:&nbsp;Rens Mevissen en Carmen Staneke<br>Naar een idee van:&nbsp;Anne Stokvis<br>Voor research: Margot van Oosten<br>Research:&nbsp;Sakir Khader<br>Vertaling &amp; spotter:&nbsp;May Oda en Karim Ellouta<br>Muziek:&nbsp;Obada Kheireddin<br><br>Met speciale dank aan:&nbsp;Obada Kheireddin, Rajaie Kheireddin, Mouna Boubes<br>Met dank aan:&nbsp;Fouad Hallak,&nbsp;Randy Vermeulen, N=Conten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With 2 million subscribers, Obada (21), who fled from Syria, is one of the biggest YouTubers in the Netherlands.
